Scottie Scheffler never doubted Sunday’s score in the Championship PGA

Charlotte, NC – Scottie Scheffler went to TEE 10th in Quail Hollow Club on Sunday with its full -time PGA 2025 championship. A string of lively vivid shots left plus a three beginning under by Jon Rahm meant that Scheffler entered nine back -bound backs.
Scheffler, who Took control of the tournament With an superhuman flame on Saturday, he had quickly lost control of the wheel and seemed to be flirting with a great destructive championship collapse.
But even when there were suspicions hanging in the thick North Carolina air, Scottie Scheffler had none.
“The type of what I reminded myself on the other hand is – I had a bite to eat and told myself, if I continue to do good shakes, I will not continue to hit the ball and leave it every time, speaking statistically,” Scheffler said. “I knew I needed nine really good holes.”
After Caddy Ted Scott told him to aim a little more right, Scheffler split his shoulders and stripped his purpose in no. 10. A bird followed, and Scheffler had the lead from one.

The brains are a funny thing. They can overcome you with anxiety and emotion. Make you feel like you are six big inches or 10 meters long. They can get you into doubt. Years later, they can also help you better understand that doubt. Before his Sunday round in his 2022 masters victory, Scheffler told reporters that he broke down in the arms of his wife Mredith that morning.
“I don’t think I’m ready for that,” Scheffler recalled saying to her.
Three years later, Scheffler, who has been the number 1 player in the world for 116 weeks in a row, recalls the feelings different now. Or maybe, he can simply explain better the further emotions he receives.
“I do not know if self-section is the right description,” Scheffler said on Sunday, explaining that he was upset by what their lives had changed in such a short space in 2022 and he didn’t know if they were ready for him it
“Sometimes I wish you didn’t care as much as I did – or as I do,” Scheffler said. “It would be much easier if I could show up and be like, eh, win or lose. I will continue to go home and do everything. Sometimes I feel that way. But at the end of the day, it means a lot to me.”

Another of the wonders of the brain is his ability to unite memories in sounds, appearance, smell and touch. To become the causative point for memory. Echoic memory, iconic memory, etc. To get a sensory moment and use it to burn a memory in your subconscious.
As the sun continued to bake a big Sunday champion in Charlotte, Scheffler stayed in par-5 15 locked up in its process. He had re-seized the wheel. A bird in 10 and a perfect tee shot in Par-4 11 had stabilized it. Another bird in the 14th short Par-4 gave a two-stroke lead on Rahm, which was going down on the 16th road on the other side of the basin from where Scheffler stood.
The Lakeside Club, which had been colliding music throughout the week, even when the players were nearby, was calm while the tension filled the air. But the music still clashed with construction, which will soon be destroyed on Monday. It was pale but there. It did not disturb Scheffler’s process, but about 50 yards away, I stayed and pulled out my phone as the texts moved quietly to the course.
Once in a younger year, when all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play, went face to face with all our fear
We learned our teachings through tears, we made memories that we knew it would never fade
One day, my father, he said to me, ‘Son, don’t let him slip
“Nights from Avicii,” the app read on my phone.
Not aware of the sound of the sound in its closing extension, Scheffler bleached a driver down the middle of the road and rose. He looked beyond the lake and without rahm in the bunker in par-4 16. After seeing a chart no. 13, Scheffler knew the best Rahm could be as that hole was nine under and two behind it. He turned his gaze back to the destination of his ball in no. 15. Seconds later, Rahm lost his money, and groan from fans at 16 clashed through the air towards Scheffler.
Son, do not let him slip.
A few minutes later, Scheffler Zogu 15, and its direction was three. A few minutes later, it was six, and the tournament, which went from a dog fight in less than an hour, was ready for a crown. A celebration for a golf player whose greatness lies in his process, his faith and his endless journey to conquer unconsciousness.
“I love following the attempt to understand something,” Scheffler said. “This is what I want for this game. I feel like you are always fighting yourself, and you are always trying to understand things. And you will never perfect it. I can be a kind of crazy person ever when it comes to putting my mind for something.
“In Golf, there is always something you can understand. There is always something you can do better.”
Scheffler arrived at Quail Hollow’s Green Mile with his single flaw in three -hole alignment being a double trick caused by mud in round 1.
He filed 16 years old, found land and made the first in 17 years old and avoided trouble from Tee to 18th. When his third blow landed in green, he put his arm around Scott and they marched straight Their shared vision While the amphitheater around 18 calmed them down. When his last hit hit at the end of the cup, Scheffler, The newest winner of the PGA Championshiphugged Scott before coming his hat on the green.
“F – K, yes!” He shouted. “I’m talking about it.”
Scheffler hugged Mredith and their son Bennett and then turned to his father, Scott.
“Words cannot describe what we have just seen,” said Elder Scheffler. “You are the toughest guy and the sweetest son. I am very proud of you. Thank you for never giving up, Scottie.”
As Scheffler signed his card, his coach for a long time Randy Smith held a court and explained a day that led the emotional range for Team Scheffler.
“Relief,” Smith said of Scheffler’s emotional response to his latest blow. “You were in a kind of dog to fight there all of a sudden. Then, breathe deeply. Do it, do it. There are many mental mistakes that entered that 18 golf holes and that was its release.”
How much for what Scheffler adjustments did the extension?
“Play better,” said Smith. “You can’t hit shots like this. Stay there. Just look down and says it’s time for the man here and make a game. … You always know who in a team wants the ball with a second left. That’s the way it is.”
Scheffler came out scoring with Bennett in his groin and headed towards the Wanamaker trophy ceremony with those words that still depend in the air from an hour ago, when everything changed, from the three-minute setting that will be lit in the still increasing legend of Scheffler and my ecotic memory.
A vague car, a deliberate walk, a glance and a choir of groaning that pushed it to history.
Son, do not let him slip.
Scottie Scheffler didn’t. He would never go.
