Schauffele's two-round score of 10 under was
enough to win the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf
Resort in County Limerick.
The event benefits charities in Ireland and gives players a
chance to get acclimated to Europe ahead of the final major of
the year.
The No. 11-ranked player in the world, Schauffele is just nine
days removed from capturing the Travelers Championship on the
PGA Tour. He heads into next week's Open at St Andrews in
Scotland still hunting his first major victory.
Schauffele beat Sam Burns by one stroke after Burns posted a
7-under 65. Ireland's Shane Lowry was third at 8 under and
England's Tyrrell Hatton took fourth at 7 under.
One day after Schauffele set Adare Manor's course record with an
8-under 64, Irish 50-year-old Padraig Harrington tied the record
with seven birdies, an eagle and just one bogey for his own 64.
He placed fifth at 6 under.
Tiger Woods followed an opening-round 77 with a 2-over 74, in
which he made consecutive birdies at the 15th and 16th holes but
also finished with four bogeys. It was Woods' only tune-up event
before St Andrews, where he won the Open in 2000 and 2005.
Fourteen of the top 15-ranked players in the world, including
Schauffele, No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and defending Open champion
Collin Morikawa, will take part in the Scottish Open later this
week as one last tune-up before the Open July 14-17.
