ATLANTA -- For a brief moment in the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler looked like one of us.

With the FedEx Cup and a whopping $25 million bonus on the line, Scheffler had just carded a bogey on the par-4 seventh hole. He badly hooked his tee shot to the left and his ball nearly went out of bounds before settling in pine straw.

Scheffler had to stand in a tree to hit his second shot, then his 4 1/2-foot par putt lipped out -- his only miss inside 8 feet in 72 holes.
