What did Scottie Scheffler say after winning the BMW Championship?

Scottie Scheffler joined the press conference at the BMW Championship to share his playing experience at the tournament and triumphing in the fifth event of the 2025 season. He shared about his victory journey and said, via ASAP Sports:

“It was a tough day out there. The greens got really tough to putt there towards the end, and it was a challenging day. I was starting four shots back but got myself into the tournament pretty quickly there on the front nine and did a lot of good stuff out there and would have liked to have had a few less mistakes, but overall great battle all the way through. Did a good job of staying patient and executing when we needed to.

“I missed it on the correct side. I think that's the most important. It was a chip we practiced. I knew how fast it was, and basically it was just trying to get it on the green."

Scottie Scheffler scored 15-under in total, and he fired 66 in the first round of the event with three birdies on the front nine and three on the back nine. Next, he shot 65 in the second round of the tournament with three birdies on the front nine and two on the back nine. The third round saw 67 with four birdies, and the last round saw 67 with six birdies.
