		</div><p>American Scottie Scheffler claimed a one-shot victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where England’s Tyrrell Hatton recovered from a disastrous six-over 78 third round to finish in a tie for second.</p>
<p>Scheffler profited from overnight leaders Billy Horschel and Talor Gooch falling off the pace, both closing with costly rounds at Bay Hill.</p>
<p>The 25-year-old Texan, who won last month’s WM Phoenix Open after a play-off, looked in trouble after two bogeys in the opening three holes to turn at one over.</p>
<p>A crucial birdie at the par-five 12th put him back level and into contention as he took the clubhouse lead at five under.</p>
<p>Several players had been within three strokes of the lead down the back nine, including Norway’s Viktor Hovland, who needed a birdie on the final hole to pull Scheffler in, but missed from 18 feet as he finished two over for the day.</p>
<p>Gary Woodland saw his challenge fade after a mishit bunker shot on the 17th which resulted in a double-bogey and another dropped on the last to end at three under, tied for fifth.</p>
<p>Hatton, meanwhile, looked to put Saturday’s nightmare behind him, but got off to a poor start with a bogey at the first as well as the sixth and ninth, but was saved by three birdies.</p>
<p>Another four followed on the back nine, with just one dropped shot on the par-three 14th, to finish at three under.</p>
<p>Horschel was also tied for second after a three-over 75 – with a double-bogey seven at the sixth proving too much to overcome.</p>
<p>Gooch fell back to a tie for seventh place following a five-over round of 77, including double-bogeys on the fifth and eight as his challenge faltered before the turn.</p>
<p>Rory McIlroy had led after the opening day with a seven-under round of 65, but faded following successive rounds of 76 – and snapped a wedge at the 12th following an overhit chip.</p>
<p>England’s Matt Fitzpatrick shot a 73 to finish at one under, while Graeme McDowell was alongside compatriot McIlroy following his own four-over-par final round.</p>
<p>Australian Lucas Herbert produced the best closing round, signing for a four-under 68 to climb the leaderboard and tie for seventh.</p>
