Golfer Theegala Ties For 6th At Arnold Palmer International

ORLANDO, FL (IANS) – Sahith Theegala produced a fine 4-under 68 despite two late bogeys as he climbed to Tied-sixth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It was the Indian American’s third Top-6 finish in seven starts in 2024.

Theegala, who started the final day in T-25, birdied three times between the fifth and the eighth. Two more on the 11th and the 13th made it even better but bogeys on the 15th and the 18th, where he missed the fairways, set him back.

In between he birdied the Par-5 16th and carded 68 for a total of 5-under for the week at the $20 million Signature Event.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was in dominant form as he shot 6-under 66, the day’s lowest round, and was bogey-free and totaled 15-under for a five-shot win. It was also Scheffler’s second title in three years at Bay Hill.

Reigning US Open champion Wyndham Clark finished runner-up after a 70 while co-overnight leader Shane Lowry settled for third place after a 72.
