Masters champion Scottie Scheffler continued his dominance by winning the storm-delayed RBC Heritage in South Carolina for his fourth win in five starts.<\/b><\/p>\n

The world number one, 27, carded a three-under-par 68 in the final round to finish on 19 under and win by four shots from fellow American Sahith Theegala. <\/p>\n

Sunday’s final round was halted for more than two hours by inclement weather before darkness stopped play from finishing.<\/p>\n

Scheffler returned on Monday with a five-shot lead and three holes to play and he wrapped up a comfortable triumph.<\/p>\n

He becomes the first player to follow a Masters win<\/a> with victory at the RBC Heritage since Germany’s Bernhard Langer in 1985.<\/p>\n

Scheffler is also the first player to win four times in five starts on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods in 2007-08.<\/p>\n

Before his back-to-back wins this month, Scheffler won the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and The Players Championship in March.<\/p>\n

“I got off to a slow start on Thursday but other than that I played some really nice golf in the middle of the tournament and it’s nice to be done,” said Scheffler.<\/p>\n

“I think mentally the last month or so has been as good as I’ve been in a long time and I think that is why I’m seeing some of the results.”<\/p>\n

Austria’s Sepp Straka was the highest European, finishing in joint fifth with on 14 under, while Masters runner-up Ludvig Aaberg was joint 10th on 12 under. <\/p>\n

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy shot a final-round 74 to finish well off the pace on seven under.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
