Teeing Off The X-Factor Xander Schauffele teed off on Sunday afternoon five shots behind leader Gary Woodland. He finished with a trophy, a course-record tying 11-under 62, TWO eagle hole-outs, a second win in as many starts and his fourth TOUR title overall. It was the largest final-round comeback in the history of the event in Kapalua.  “All of my wins have been from behind. This was in sort of dramatic fashion and it turned into a birdie-fest coming down the stretch," said Schauffele of his Sunday charge. His underdog mentality keeps him motivated, especially as a member of the high school class headlined by FedExCup champions Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.  “They keep putting that flag way out there for me to go and chase and I feel like that's what I've been doing." Overlook him all you want, Xander's proven he has the game for the big stage.
