After this big victory, Scottie Scheffler disclosed in a press conference that he intends to store the trophy in his home. He stated:

"I have a room in my house called 'The Golf Room'. And that's where all my crap goes, literally. It's just a room full of all my golf junk. I've got some trophies in there as well, and that's probably where this one will go."

Scheffler reminisced on his win, saying that the last nine holes will be in his mind for a long time. He added:

"It was a grind out there. I think at one point on the front, I maybe had a four- or five-shot lead, and making the turn, I think I was tied for the lead. So to step up when I needed to the most, I'll remember that for a while."

Talking a bit about the leaderboard, Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley finished in a tie for second place. Following them, J.T. Poston, Jhonattan Vegas, and Taylor Pendrith finished in fifth place.
