Scottie Scheffler's run in 2022 continues through Austin and straight to the #1 spot in the Official World Golf Rankings after defeating Kevin Kisner in the championship match of the WGC-Dell Match Play.

The Dallas resident may have ascended to #1 in the world, but he remains #2 in the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup Team Rankings behind Kisner, the man he beat 4&3 at Austin Country Club. The win and runner-up finish earned Scheffler and Kisner 1,050 and 660 points respectively. Other notable movers following this week's event included Bubba Watson (+15 spots), Maverick McNealy (+8), Will Zalatoris (+6) and Dustin Johnson (+2).

Scheffler's week included 8 matches and 120 holes played. The most difficult match of his week included a 6 holes playoff against 2021 European Ryder Cup team member, Matt Fitzpatrick.
