CBS showed all but three of Scottie Scheffler’s shots in the final round of the PGA Championship as he cruised to his third major title. Scheffler carded a final round 71 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, and CBS showed 68 of his strokes, omitting three simple tap-in par putts on holes 11-13.

SBJ tracked CBS’s shot total on Sunday from 2pm ET until Scheffler’s final putt dropped on the 18th green just before 7pm.

All told, CBS showed 412 shots from 21 players on Sunday. SBJ tracked the final round of this year’s Masters in a similar window, in which CBS showed 337 shots from 20 players.

Scheffler led all players on Sunday, followed by Alex Noren with 61. CBS stayed with Noren early in the round, showing all but one of his shots on the opening nine. But he made three bogies in four holes to begin the second nine and eventually tied for 17th.

Jon Rahm was Scheffler’s closest competitor, at one point tying him for the lead at -9 early on the second nine. Rahm had 59 shots shown but played his final three holes in +5 to finish seven strokes behind Scheffler.

The fourth-most shown player on Sunday was Bryson DeChambeau (57), who eventually tied for second. Also finishing tied second was Harris English, though he only was shown eight times by CBS during the window. English carded a 65 early in the day and rose up the leaderboard as other players faltered down the stretch.

Canada’s Taylor Pendrith tied for 5th but was not shown during the window SBJ tracked, the only such player in the top 17.
