That is why he wins and continues to win. So he learned to work the ball in both ways, how he developed a short world class game and how he became one of the best placers in the game. Scheffler, now a big champion four times After his prevailing open championship victory In Royal Portrush, it is fixed with the small things.
This attention to the details extends out of course, as we discovered on Sunday, while Scheffler made media rounds after his extraordinary victory in northern Ireland.
In one Video captured by R&AScheffler is sitting with Golf Channel’s Paul McGinley, Brandel Chamblee and Rich Lerner preparing for a segment of “Live From”, when Scheffler shows McGinley that he noticed for his newest prize.
It was not where his name was, nor was it for all the other legendary players who had put their names in silver.
“The first thing I noticed was this,” Scheffler said, showing McGinley and Chamblee a place in the trophy. “2020: No championship due to the global pandemia.”
Scheffler then noted the location of his name under 2024 Golf player Xander Schauffle.
After shooting three under the tournament, Scheffler chose the portrait with a round seven under Friday to get a lead with a hit on the weekend. He extended him to four with a Saturday without Bogey and sailed a four -shot victory over Harris English to claim his second season.
“None of us can hang with Scottie this week,” said Rory Mcilroy, who ended up connected to the stature after his last round. “He is an incredible player. He has been prevalent this week. Honestly, he has been prevalent for the last two years. He is a bar that we are all trying to reach. In a historical context, you can argue that there are only two or three players in the history of the game that have been in a run, the one who has been here for 24 months.”
Added Schauffle, who also ended on 10 under and tied up for the seventh: “I didn’t think we thought the Golf world would see someone as predominant to come so quickly, and here is some kind of scottie taking that throne of the prevailing. his on the leader, he is successful. “
Scheffler’s week in Royal Portrush Started with an existential response In a press question for the press that left everyone to ask about the desire of the world no. 1 to continue running over this sport. If he was not “fulfilled” by winning, then why would he continue to do it?
Of course, as is often the case, Scheffler’s message was lost in translation. He was not saying that being excellent in golf does not bring joy. He loves work. He likes to practice and compete. But for a man who is so clearly based on his faith and his family, Scheffler was just trying to say that being good in golf is not everything he has. He knows that profit, worship, fame, etc., are all, but the things that matter most to him – his family and faith – will always be the ones that fill his soul.
“I don’t know why I’m so lucky to live my dreams, but it’s something I am very grateful for,” Scheffler said. “If anyone listened to the comments I had this week, I would encourage them to hear them all, and I hope I did a good job by communicating that, yes, this is amazing to win the open championship, but at the end of the day, having success in life, whether in golf, work, whatever it is, this is not what fulfills your heart.
“Just just hard to describe when you didn’t live it. Something something I really talked about this week was just because you win a golf tour or achieve something, doesn’t make you happy. There is – maybe for a few moments, maybe for a few days, but at the end of the day, there is more in life than to play Golf.”
While this is true, no one has played better golf than Scheffler over the past two years.
Scheffler has won three degrees, a gold and 13 times a total of the world since the beginning of the 2024 season.
This level of predominance has a lot of Scheffler’s comparison with another man whose name gives Claret South: Tiger Woods. But Scheffler does not think he has done enough to put himself in conversation with his idol, which transformed the sport.
“I still think they are a little silly,” Scheffler told Woods Comps. “Tiger won, what, 15 diplomas? This is my fourth. I just have a quarter of the road there. I think Tiger is only in the Golf game. He was inspiring to me growing up. He was a very gifted boy, and he was not a special person to be as good as he was in the Golf. Whatever it may be.
Scheffler has now won four degrees with 16 combined strokes. He will arrive at Shinnecock Hills next year with a chance to complete the Grand Slam career in the US Open.
Of course, none of them is in Scheffler’s mind. It is focused on the details and the process. This is what has taken it at the top of the game and why there is no sign that he will go down.
