Scottie Scheffler closes in on $25 million FedEx Cup prize with late burst of birdies

ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler birdied four of his last five holes Saturday at East Lake for a 5-under 66 that kept Collin Morikawa at bay and moved the No. 1 player in golf one round away from capping his season with a $25 million FedEx Cup prize.

Scheffler extended his lead to five shots over Morikawa going into the final round of the Tour Championship, and no one else was closer than nine shots.

Sahith Theegala might have been two shots closer except for calling a two-shot penalty...
