A couple of months after winning the game’s most prestigious tournament, Scottie Scheffler represented himself the way the No. 1 player in the world should at the U.S. Open.
BROOKLINE, Mass. — In the delirious wake of his boy’s breakthrough in April, as he tried to process what it meant to be the father of a Masters champ, Scott Scheffler mentioned how wonderful it was that Scottie embodied New Jersey, the place where he was born, and Texas, the place where he was raised.
He isn’t another Tiger Woods, just like Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas were never anything close to Woods. But after assuming the role of Ryder Cup hero last fall, silencing those who didn’t believe he belonged on the U.S. team, Scheffler has put together a season that would make Tiger proud.
This confession of a Masters winner was shocking to anyone who had watched his rise to prominence. Scheffler is a card-carrying stoic, a golfer who projects the same calm, cool and collected vibe whether he’s leading by three or trailing by four.He cooled off some after Augusta, if only because golf ultimately cools everyone off. But Scheffler arrived at The Country Club on Sunday fully expecting to win.
He answered Fitzpatrick’s birdie at the 15th with one of his own at the famous 17th, cutting the lead back to one. But after giving himself a clean, midrange look on the 18th, Scheffler couldn’t sink the one last birdie putt he needed to get into a playoff.“This week I hit some of the worst shots I’ve hit in my career, and I’ve hit some of the best ones,” he said. “So it was kind of a roller-coaster week. To be at the end was definitely a lot of fun.
