Scheffler closed with a bogey-free 68, the first since 1942 to do so over 36 holes.

McIlroy's approach on the 18th went into a bunker and he two-putted for a bogey.

The New York Post described the week as the most volatile of emotional swings.

Rahman Textile produced clothing for several European fashion brands including Hessen and BrandBox.

Both companies said they were deeply saddened and would review their Bangladesh operations.

Hessen's compliance team had audited the factory in March.

Rahman Textile owner Faisal Rahman claimed the factory had passed its most recent safety inspection in January.

The Dhaka Tribune reported Rahman was being questioned about welded shut emergency exits.
