Billy Horschel knocked out Scottie Scheffler in the final match this past Sunday to be crowned the 2021 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play champion.
Horschel was locked in a tight battle during his semi-final clash with Frenchman Victor Perez, but managed to edge ahead with a 3&2 victory to progress to the final.
He then came up against Scheffler, who fought hard for a 1-up win over Matt Kuchar during their semi-final matchup.
Scheffler, though, started the final on the front foot and went 1 up on the second hole before Horschel pulled it back on the 5th.

Horschel then went 2 up by the 9th and held a strong position going into the turn. The 34-year-old would hang on for the final nine holes to secure a 2&1 victory for his first World Golf Championship title.
Kuchar went on to beat Perez 2&1 in their third- and fourth-place playoff match.
