Masters victory hangover? World No. 1 and FedEx Cup leader Scottie Scheffler is hoping not. He's entered in this week's RBC Heritage, seeking his fourth win in his last five starts, including last week at Augusta National Golf Club. The last player to win a major and win on the PGA Tour the following week is Tiger Woods in 2006. He won the PGA Championship followed by the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
