Best in the World Times Two
It is not often that a golfer comes along and dominates their tour. Odds on favorite to win every time they tee it up. Hitting fairways and greens. Sinking putts. Chipping in. Lapping the field in the season long points race. There are never TWO professional golfers doing so simultaneously. Until now. With their wins this weekend, in their last 10 tournaments combined, Nelly Korda and Scott Scheffler have competed against 1,163 golfers. They’ve lost to exactly one.
When Nelly Korda teed it up on Thursday for the first round of the Chevron Championship, the first LPGA major of the season, she was looking to join Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam as only the third player in LPGA history to win five consecutive tournaments. Having to play 27 holes on Sunday due to Saturday’s third round being cut short by rain, Korda found herself in a tie for second one stroke off the lead as they began the final round. With her top competition faltering, Korda made the turn at 13 under with a 3 shot lead. Maja Stark made it interesting for Korda, finishing at 11 under one back with Korda needing to play the par 5 18th. After hitting her 2nd shot over the green, Nelly rolled in her birdie putt to claim her second major title (2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Sebonack). Following tradition Korda jumped into the pond adjacent to the 18th green executing a perfect cannonball.
Just a week removed from donning his second green jacket at Augusta, Scottie Scheffler carded a 3 under 68 Monday morning to take a 3 stroke victory in the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. The RBC was made a Signature event this year and the win was worth $3.6 million. It was Scheffler’s 4th win in his last five starts, his only loss a second place finish to Stephan Jaeger at the Houston Open.
Scheffler’s win was his tenth on tour in 51 career starts. He becomes the second fastest to reach that milestone only behind David Duval who only needed 33 starts to win his tenth title. To put it in perspective, Tiger Woods needed 59 starts for 10 victories. With the win Scottie now has 3915 points in the season long Race for the FedEx Cup. The difference between Scottie and second place (Wyndham Clark) is greater than the distance between 2nd and 222nd (last of all golfers who have earned Cup points this season).
In other news around professional golf, Billy Horschel shot an astounding 9 under in his final round to take the opposite field event, the Corales Puntacana Championship, by 2 strokes over Wesley Bryan. Fifteen year old Miles Russell, the youngest player to ever make a cut at a Korn Ferry Tour event, shot five under on Sunday to finish T-20 earning him an exemption into this weeks KFT tournament.

As the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson heads into its final day, golf fans are eagerly anticipating an electrifying finish. The tournament has already delivered high-stakes competition and plenty of nail-biting moments, with the field of contenders showcasing both resilience and finesse throughout the week.
After three rounds of spectacular golf, Keith Mitchell enters the final day leading the pack at 20-under par, with Beau Hossler right on his heels at 19-under. Mitchell, whose only PGA Tour win came more than five years ago at the Honda Classic, faces a critical moment on Sunday as he aims for his second title. He was flawless on Saturday, carding a bogey-free 7-under 65 to climb to the top, but he knows Sunday will be a true test of nerves and skill.
“Tomorrow is a completely new day,” Mitchell stated after his round. “Last group. Been there before and failed a bunch on Sundays in the last group. I’m hoping I can learn from those mistakes.” Whether Mitchell can hold his composure and deliver a steady final round remains to be seen, but fans are excited to see if he can secure the victory.
Beau Hossler, searching for his first PGA Tour victory, will be applying pressure throughout the day, keeping Mitchell in his sights. Hossler’s performance so far has been marked by a series of strong rounds, but a crucial double bogey on the par-4 12th hole on Saturday set him back. Despite the setback, Hossler remains just one shot behind Mitchell at 19-under par. His determination and strong play make it evident that a breakthrough win may not be far off for the 29-year-old.
The final round also promises notable performances from several other players, adding to the intensity of the event. Kevin Yu is currently in third place at 18-under, after an impressive birdie streak on the back nine during Saturday’s round. Meanwhile, Bud Cauley, Lucas Glover, and Jacob Bridgeman are all tied for fourth at 16-under. Each of these players has shown tremendous fight, and the final round could see anyone emerge as a challenger.
Hayden Springer, who began the tournament as somewhat of an underdog, has turned heads with his exceptional play throughout the week. The TCU alum is tied for sixth, marking one of his best performances on the PGA Tour. Springer’s rise up the leaderboard exemplifies the competitive depth of this year’s field.
One of the highlights of the championship so far has been David Skinns’s course-record 60 during the first round. Though Skinns has struggled to maintain his initial momentum, currently tied for 44th, his performance on Thursday will be remembered as one of the standout moments of the tournament.
As Sunday approaches, Keith Mitchell will need to display the confidence and determination required to close out a win against a talented field. He will need to play calculated golf, understanding when to take risks and when to be conservative. The final round is set to be a thrilling showdown, with Mitchell, Hossler, and the rest of the contenders all striving to make their mark.
Whether Mitchell can capture the Sanderson Farms Championship trophy or if one of the chasing pack will rise to the occasion is still uncertain. For fans, the anticipation is building, and all eyes are on the Country Club of Jackson as the final chapter of this year’s tournament unfolds. The 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship has already provided an exhilarating showcase of high-caliber golf, and the final day promises even more drama and excitement.
Stay tuned as we await the final results and see who will emerge victorious in this thrilling battle for the Sanderson Farms Championship title.
