For Rory, Scottie, Spieth, Pressors Without Tension Still quite interesting

Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcilroy and Jordan Spieth addressed the media from Traveler Wednesday. I saw their oppressors from home about 3,000 miles away, recovering still from a full week Last week US OpenSatisfied as I am always that after one of the biggest tournaments of the whole season, the right ones. . . -Let another.

But their availability in the media was made for watching withdrawal, as someone interested in professional golf and interested in the last chapters of these boys’ lives. These were not inflammatory press conferences; They will not make titles especially juicy and mostly exhausting the current Golf-Media scene (Is Mcilroy Vs Media?!) did not come out once. But because they are three good speakers because they are the three largest stars in PGA Tour, because they are three different personalities at different points in their careers, this was an interesting moment to take action, with the end of the season already in the eye.

Scheffler went first. He was a reflective for Oakmont, where he said he did not have his best things, but was proud of his effort. While some contenders collapsed in the stretch, he was still hope that he could steal in the mix, but he stuck outside and Jj Spaun ended up with a noise behind him.

“For JJ to grow and Birdie 17 and 18 in those conditions to win the tour is quite special,” he said.

However, Scheffler’s T7 conclusion was a more respectful addition to his last funny running; He has won three of his last five tours and has not ended worse than T8 since mid -March. He is playing the best golf in the world so far, he is at the height of his powers and he enters into travelers this week as a defensive champion. It was not surprising to hear Scheffler say that this week, he is mainly focused on rest and recovery before he starts holding the score again on Thursday – what else has to improve?

“I feel like my game in a good place, so I don’t have to go out and feel like I have to understand anything – or understand the greens or about the greens,” he said. “Many is making your mind ready to go out and play.”

Mcilroy spoke next, just minutes after Scheffler finished. If one feels anti-Climax anti-maid, it is him; Just a year ago he overlooked the event as he was “licking my wounds from Pinhurst,” he said. He was not ready to play after a fierce end of the US Open racing. This year, anyway? Although Mcilroy’s post-mood has been the source of endless speculation, he said he feels fresh this week after a Top-20 doors in the US Open.

“After a week like me in Oakmont last week, where you are not in the mixture enough, but you may feel you find something in your game, you are excited to come back and play again.” He called TPC River Highlands “Chaser Perfect” by the most difficult week of the year; He and the rest of the field will expect to make some birds.

It was interesting to hear that neither Scheffler nor Mcilroy had yet met Newly appointed PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp. This was a first reminder that ROPP – a long NFL executive – is a true golf exterior, and secondly that the two leading players in the world are staying out of tour policy, Scheffler as part of his constant attempt to keep everything simple and Mcilroy after a rolling policy.

“He probably said all the right things and has an amazing background, two decades in the NFL helping them expand internationally and essentially become behemoths that they have become,” Mcilroy, external optimistic rented, said. “So for him to bring that experience to the PGA Tour I think it will be amazing, and I think it’s great that Jay is there to help with quiet transition too. Yes, I think it’s a really positive thing for the tournament.”

They were intrigued by Rollapp and his appointment and his vision. But soon it became clear that, every day, they are more focused on the small tasks that prepare them for what is next. As they go from the main event in the signature, it was interesting to hear them speak through their respective recovery regimes after the tournament.

“I have a routine that I adhere to between seeing my coach and the cold tub,” Scheffler said. “That’s about it. Nothing too crazy.”

Mcilroy prefers to mark the case with a long spill.

“I probably like to let go and have a glass of wine one night on Sunday, so I won’t say it’s the best recovery mode. Of course Mondays are – I give myself that day. I think the Mondays between the tournaments are quite important as a reset. So that’s what I try to do.”

And this is a convenient transition to Spieth, which was not sharing a bottle of mcilroy bottle, but found a release of it after T23 in Oakmont.

“I had some beers on Sunday,” he said. “We were waiting for schefflers to (flying to Hartford), and (Scottie) was after the delay. So I went to the Buffalo Wilds Wild with (his caddy) Michael (Geller).

If Scheffler is at the height of his powers and Mcilroy is looking for something after completing his “MT Everest”, Spieth seems to be enjoying the beginning of his next climb. This will be his 10th tour in 12 weeks as he grinds his way during the tour season, following a place in East Lake (he is currently 37 And a bed in the US Ryder Cup (he is currently no. 22). The next two, and eight years away from his latest Major. whether He could catch another, he would simply want the chance to appreciate it much more.

“I think knowing how special they are, appreciating the work and support and team around you who has taken you there and simply enjoying the realization of those kinds of goals maybe more than – I took them as well as just because you are a hope or see that they continue to happen.” He was, of course, 21 when he won the first two. It is understandable that he thought they would simply continue to come.

If the appearances had anything in common, it was their memories that in professional golf, the train just continues to move.

“To be honest, I really don’t have to see anything on Sunday. By the time I finished, I was going into the shower and trying to pack all our things and baby things, so I was unable to look too much,” Scheffler said.

“I think the hard thing is (season) comes on such a condensed schedule,” Mcilroy added. “This is the latest signature event of the year, and feels like we have started alone. We are only in June.”

“I think the biggest thing to me now isn’t trying.

Their worlds are small, these golf megasars. Cold baths. Locker rooms. Private aircraft. Wild buffalo wings. But they are also incredible wide. Pittsburgh on Hartford to portray, all while other regions of the world make noise for their participation.

“I’ve always wanted to go to India,” Mcilroy said. And India has always wanted him to come. Now that the DP World Tournament has created a new event there, exactly where it will go. “They asked me at the beginning of the year, I would be interested in going, and I said yes, it sounds amazing,” he added. He is heading there this fall, and then in Australia to come in December, the types of places that fans will appear in Droves to see him playing.

Business is big business, being mcilroy, being spieth, being Scheffler. The dream is. Also also all used in the small things, in their ability to get the ball into the hole, to stay healthy, to continue it, now that they have done it. What have you done for me lately? What would you shoot today? What will you shoot tomorrow?

Asked about Jj Spaun, for comedies from US Open, Spieth thought again in time for a moment, trying to remember that feeling after the major. And he landed in something flying.

“I think the biggest thing is after a few weeks. It was just golf, and someone else won another event,” he said. “He stands with you in history, and you realize your goals, not to reduce what .. I think everything just returned to the world going around, faster than you understand.”

The world will continue to continue, with these three players somewhere on it. Someone will win another event, this week in fact – and next week, too. They will be well served to enjoy the process, practice, Sunday evening and reset the moon and the rounds of practice, too.

“I felt good about my preparation work so far this week and excited to start the tournament,” Scheffler said. Almost almost Thursday again.
