PHOENIX: Scottie Scheffler outdueled Canada's Nick Taylor down the back nine Sunday (Monday in Manila) to repeat as PGA Phoenix Open champion and overtake Rory McIlroy for the world number one ranking.

It was the 26-year-old American's first title since capturing last year's Masters and returned him to the rankings summit he surrendered to Northern Ireland's McIlroy last October.
