Why is Xander Schauffle so ‘harsh’ with himself between fighting

If you have heard any of Xander schauuffleThis season’s interviews, you may have noticed that he can be difficult for himself if his game is not fulfilling his high expectations. But according to his most recent call with the media, there is a good reason for his harsh self -esteem.

And it is about improving the game.

Schauffle fights between returning from damage

After playing the Sentry Opening event in early January, Schauffle lost the next two months while Confrontation with an injury to the ribs.

He returned to Action at Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March, where he discovered that occasionally He was in so much pain from damage that he can barely sneeze or roll in bed without winving.

But his results from the return have been far below his 2024 standards. He completed the T40 in Bay Hill and followed him ending 72 in the player championship last week.

Coming from a year in which he won two degrees and was temporarily set up in world no. 2, Schauffle’s disappointment with his poor performance is noticeable.

Schauffle’s harsh self -esteem

But during his press conference in front of the tournament this week Valsspar championship On Wednesday, Schauffle explained that harsh self -esteem is not negative. On the contrary, they play an essential role in his attempt to return to his form of beating in the world.

“I think in appreciation you can be as difficult as you want,” he said. “When I’m playing there, my expectations are not through the roof. I don’t think. I’m very happy with a car that is on the right track now, and I’m very happy when I hit a good cut or a good draw. But when you are appreciating myself I think it’s important, if you want to exalt your game, be harsh.

But he also admitted that returning from such an important time far has been much harder than expected, especially give what he expects from himself.

“I didn’t think it would be complicated,” Schauffle said. “Maybe I’m a little impatient, two weeks have passed Golf tour for me, leaving golf pretty zero. I played and then before it was Zozo, so the break felt more than just six weeks, feels like I have no golf in plenty of time.

His actions are evidence. Schauffle revealed that he initially did not plan to play Valsspar, but that he was recorded in the last minute because he “needed more reps” to help return his game.

“It’s been a process and I’m pretty determined to play better. The high grass settled after last year, and leaving that season I was expecting a lot of myself, and I still do now, even though it’s not really looked.”

SCHAUFFELE Prep Masters

Now that he is a big champion twice as much, Schauffle’s concentration is well understood toward Masterswhich begins on April 10 in Augusta National. And he is concerned about how his current game will move on to the large first of the year.

“I need to play the best golf of the tournament. I think masters are looking, Augusta National’s search, and you imagine you would like, you better play good golf going there than not,” Schauffle said on Wednesday. “This applies to every big tour. So there are only a few boys that I can name on top of my head who played 12 events and won some of the ‘, and I’m not one of’. So I can save it for later in my career.”

While Schauffle’s conclusions are not in poor condition, he has still retained his active record for the cuts made more consecutive, despite the feeling that he is “slamming into a test … not really simply taking the test”.

Whether that record matters to him, Schauffle explained that making the cut is essential because it allows it to two more rounds in each tour to solve its battles.

“I think it’s something I have also noticed from a personal goal is, it’s important for me to play as many rounds as possible tournaments as possible, so making me cuts me to play two extra rounds on the weekends, against the type of being rusty and just playing Thursday, Friday,” Schauofele noted. “So it was obviously. I was close to the twice I played and it was definitely something in front of my mind when I was there.”

And since he and his team have not decided whether he should start another start in front of the masters, Schauffle should do every round in the Vlachpar championship count.
