• Hometown fairy-tale – Scheffler closes with 31-under for an eight-shot romp, 11 years after debuting here with sister Callie on the bag and months after missing 2024 for son Bennett’s birth. Emotional hugs, autograph marathon, and a bunker-hole-out eagle on 9 headline the victory lap.
• Key flashes – Lucky carom off 12th rough, stone-cold chip-and-putt birdie on 17 after a mishit, and a clinical 64-66 weekend that turned TPC Craig Ranch into a birdie playground.

• Rules footnote – Davis Riley & Max Homa survive slope-finder penalties to cash weekend checks.

• Bryson back on Sundays – DeChambeau (-19) dials in a “play like a kid” mindset, pours a 48-footer on 17, and ends his closing-round wobble streak for his third LIV trophy.
• Crushers GC crush – Charles Howell III’s 63 propels the squad to –35, nine clear, as prize-money math and team chemistry get a spotlight.
• Leaderboard movers – Talor Gooch solo third, Jon Rahm’s top-10 streak reaches 19-for-19, and Joaquin Niemann keeps the season-long points lead despite T-20.
