Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, wins the Arnold Palmer Invitational by five shots.

American Scheffler, 27, shot a six-under 66 to finish on 15 under and win the trophy at Bay Hill for the second time in three years.

Compatriot Wyndham Clark finished second in Florida on 10 under par.

Ireland’s Shane Lowry had shared the overnight lead with Scheffler, but his threat faded on Sunday.

Tardy won the inaugural news title in China.

Ancer defeated Smith and Casey in the news play-off.

Lowry, the 2019 Open winner, was pursuing his first championship since September 2022, but the 36-year-old was unable to continue his bid after ending each of the first three days at the top.
