Scottie Scheffler wins WGC-Dell Technologies Matchplay crown, becomes world number one

Scottie Scheffler has won yet another title in 2022, lifting the WGC-Dell Technologies Matchplay crown in Austin.

The American has enjoyed a stellar start to the year, already prevailing at the Phoenix Open and Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The 25-year-old now adds a World Golf Championship title to that list with a dominant win over former champion Kevin Kisner in Sunday's final.

Three birdies in the first six holes created some breathing space for the Texas native, and there felt an inevitability about the success that followed as he eventually wrapped up a 4&3 victory.

In doing so, Scheffler replaces Jon Rahm as the new world number one, his recent run of wins complementing the consistency that he displayed during 2021.

Canada's Corey Conners won the consolation encounter, getting the better of Dustin Johnson by a 3&1 scoreline.
