In a dramatic conclusion to The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Wyndham Clark narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 18th hole, which would have forced a playoff with Scottie Scheffler. Clark's putt agonizingly lipped out, almost a 360-degree rim out, securing Scheffler's victory and his second consecutive title at this prestigious event. Earlier in the round, Clark had found trouble on the 17th hole but managed to save bogey, keeping him in contention until the final moments. Scheffler, who entered the tournament as the world number one, delivered a bogey-free 64 in the final round to clinch the win, with Ted Scott on the bag. This victory marks Scheffler's defense of his title, making him the first player to achieve back-to-back wins at The Players Championship.

Not sure I’ve seen a crueler 72nd hole conclusion than what Wyndham Clark experienced at #PlayersChampionship. It wasn’t quite a 360-degree rim out on his putt for birdie that would’ve set up a playoff with winner Scottie Scheffler, but damn close to 360. Great tournament. #PGA
Wyndham Clark to force a playoff…. and he lips out! Brutal @ForePlayPod https://t.co/s7i5JUwrwx
The horrible horseshoe for Wyndham Clark. Back-to-back @THEPLAYERS titles for world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler with Lafayette's Ted Scott as always on the bag. The favorite's role at @TheMasters awaits for Scottie.
WOW! Clark birdie but from 17 feet at 18 to force playoff lips completely around cup. Scottie Scheffler first champ @ThePlayers to defend title.
