Scottie Scheffler successfully defended his title at the Hero World Challenge, finishing six shots clear of South Korea's Tom Kim following a blistering final round at the Albany Golf Club.

Scheffler birdied three of the first four holes to immediately overhaul playing partner Justin Thomas' one-shot overnight lead, and pull two clear himself.

From there, the world No 1 never looked back and kept his foot on the accelerator, carding the best round of the day as he went around in nine-under-par 63, to finish 25-under par for the tournament.

South Korea's Tom Kim finished second on 19-under par, while Thomas bogeyed the last to finish third on 18-under par as Akshay Bhatia finished fourth, four shots further back.

US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley was fifth, a shot behind Bhatia - while Ludvig Aberg went round in 67 to finish as the top-ranked European at the event, on 12-under par.
