Xander Schauffele Falls Just Short In Defending Title
5 years agoIt was a near miss for Xander Schauffele at the Tournament of Champions. The American was attempting to go back-to-back in Hawaii but came up just short after three-putting from 35-feet on the 72nd hole - forcing a playoff with Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed. "I should've won the tournament," Schauffele said after. "I know it. Everyone knows it." While that is the unfortunate truth after it appeared Thomas had handed him the trophy with his own blunder on the final hole in regulation, the learning experience Schauffele will take from this could be what he needed to propel him to the next level. 2020 is just getting started, and Schauffele will be one of the top headliners as we move forward.
