Scottie Scheffler notched yet another second-place finish at the Travelers Championship, marking his fourth runner-up result of the 2026 season.
The World No. 1 golfer fell to Viktor Hovland in a playoff on Monday morning. Hovland made a seven-foot birdie putt and Scheffler missed a four-foot birdie putt to end the extended tournament battle.
Scheffler has played well throughout the 2026 PGA Tour season, but hasn't exactly lived up to his sky-high expectations. His lone victory of the year came at The American Express back in January.

However, Scheffler is still encouraged with his game moving forward.
"I played solid over the course of four days," Scheffler said after the playoff loss. "There's obviously some shots that I'd like back, but overall it was a good solid week. A bit disappointed with the finish, but overall I feel like my game is in a good spot."

"Some good things to come from this week. I hit the ball really nicely," Scheffler continued. "It's just one of those weeks where I was close but it wasn't quite good enough."

Scheffler lipped out on his four-foot birdie putt that would have forced another playoff hole.
"Maybe I hit it a little firmer than I intended to," Scheffler said of the putt. "It looked like it got pretty far by the hole and I was playing it outside the hole, so I hit it down my line, just maybe the speed was a touch off."
