Wyndham Clark had a chance to force a playoff during the final round at The Players Championship on Sunday in Florida, but instead fell victim to one of the most painful endings in PGA history.

Clark had the last shot, but his putt just inside 18 feet somehow dipped into the cup on the left side and came out on the right side, leaving him stunned as he placed his hand over his mouth.

Scottie Scheffler, who started the final round five shots behind, was on the practice range preparing for a three-hole playoff when he got the word and showed more emotion than usual for someone who is getting used to winning.

Already the best in the world, Scheffler added another layer to his legend Sunday. He became the first player to win back-to-back in 50 years of The Players Championship by matching the biggest comeback and the lowest closing round by a winner.

Scheffler holed out for eagle from the fourth fairway and had four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn, sending him to an 8-under 64 and a one-shot victory that wasn’t decided until the final putt.
