Davis Riley (-14) cruised to his second PGA Tour victory on Sunday, firing an even-par 70 to win the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, TX. Scottie Scheffler (-8, 1-over 71), who began the final round four stokes back, never made his playing partner sweat.

Scheffler tied for second with Keegan Bradley (-9, 67), followed by Collin Morikawa (-8, 68).

Riley carded four birdies and four bogeys as he grinded through the blistery conditions.

“It was certainly nice to start out with a cushion … but you got the No. 1 player in the world breathing down your neck, not really any shot lead is too comfortable.” said Riley, whose previous PGA Tour victory came at the 2023 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a team event.

“I knew at some point today he was going to make a push and I expected that. And, honestly, I tried to treat today as if we both started tied and I just tried to win the day.”

Riley had two bogeys (and one birdie) through five holes, but Scheffler let him off the hook with bogeys on Nos. 4 and 5. Conversely, on No. 9, Scheffler — whose red-hot Saturday putter iced up — missed his birdie try, while Riley capitalized to carry a commanding lead into the back nine.

“I saw a leaderboard on 13. I saw Keegan Bradley was at 9 (under), Scottie was at 8 … and he had a good look for birdie on 13. So I knew I had a 4- or 5-shot lead at the time,” recalled Riley. “With the wind the way it was, the firmness of the greens, how it was picking up, I knew it was going to be a tough finish … so I just tried to wear out the fairways and greens and try to get a couple opportunities and roll some good putts and if they went in, great, if not, I knew pars were good coming in.”

The Mississippi native earned $1.6 million, a plaid jacket and a fully restored 1975 Stingray for his victory.

For the second straight week, Scheffler was plagued by inconsistency, as off-course matters overshadowed his golf. Scheffler — who shot a 65, 73, then 66 after his arrest at Valhalla — struggled in his first round (72) at Colonial, which included a rare triple-bogey mere hours after his felony charges were not dropped. (He did not address his legal situation at Colonial.)

Scheffler bounced back with a 65 and 63 to surge into contention. But the metroplex resident was uncharacteristically erratic on Sunday.

“I had that tough first round, but I battled back very nicely on Friday and Saturday,” said Scheffler. “As far as today goes, I just wasn't able to put as much pressure as I would have hoped to put on Davis early in the round.”

Scheffler now has four wins, two runner-ups and one T8 in his last seven PGA Tour starts. He's finished top-three in each of the last three starts at Colonial.

Of course, golf was secondary on Sunday in the wake of two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray's sudden passing. Golfers donned black and red ribbons, a nod to Murray's beloved Carolina Hurricanes.

“My heart just goes to him and his family,” said Riley moments after his clinching putt. “There was definitely a little extra to play for today.”
