Scottie Scheffler drained an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole Sunday, forcing a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland at the rain-delayed Travelers Championship. Both players had chances to win in regulation, but neither could convert their birdie attempts on the final green. Scheffler's clutch putt capped a round of 68, matching Hovland at 21-under 259.

The final round was halted for 90 minutes as storms swept across TPC River Highlands, leaving officials with insufficient daylight to complete another hole. When play resumed, both golfers traded blows on the back nine, with Scheffler making his third crucial par putt of the day to stay tied. Hovland watched his 25-foot birdie try lip out, settling for a 69 that kept him alive for Monday.

Collin Morikawa briefly held the lead after a sizzling 61, but his one-shot deficit proved insurmountable as the leaders matched pars down the stretch. The former world No. 1 showed his trademark resilience in difficult conditions, making putts when it mattered most.

The playoff will determine the winner of a tournament that has seen multiple weather delays and shifting momentum throughout the week. Both players will have a chance to claim their first victory at this event when they return to the course Monday morning.
