PGA Tour star talks about Scottie Scheffler’s dominance at RBC Heritage

During Tiger Woods’ heyday, the gap between the world’s best player and the rest of the tour field was wide.

Woods held the world number one spot for 281 consecutive weeks, for a total of 683 weeks, until he was finally overtaken by Adam Scott in May 2014. Since Woods’ amazing record, Duston Johnson and Rory McIlroy, no one has come close to Woods and his feats, but their time at the top was limited, with Johnson holding the largest lead at 135 weeks. was.

Woods’ new best player is two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who the players say looks like he could beat Rory McIlroy by 6.6373 points. “At some point I really want to kick his ass,” said Max Homa, who finished T3 but was seven shots behind Scheffler at the Masters before the RBC Heritage. “The beautiful thing is you want to beat the best when they are at their best. It’s fun and a challenge. ”

The 27-year-old hasn’t finished below T10 since Scheffler finished T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, winning three and finishing second once in the past four tournaments.

Now Scheffler is in Hilton Head, hoping to build on his success. Scheffler is not interested in the gap between him and current world No. 2 Rory McIlroy and is treating this week as just another week.

“So this week is going to be a little tougher than last week because I think it takes a lot of effort to play in a major, especially to win,” Scheffler said after his ninth PGA Tour victory. “There are a lot of things that continue after the master on Sunday. You’re going home very late. I think I’m a little tired.”

Wyndham Clark, who lost to a chef of a player’s championship, was the two -step match of Master Smith’s winner, how much his game should be.

“When my game starts and his game lights up, we can fight both. When he plays well, I think we can beat Scotti. “Clark said. But at the same time, Clark recognizes that there is more of a gulf than a small gap between him and Scheffler. Because Clark will have to work to get to the same place as Scheffler.

Clark sees his short game, especially his putting, as an area he needs to improve, and his focus on golf has waned at times, sacrificing his strokes, tournament placements and wins. “If I just take one shot a day, I think I’ll get better. Maybe we’ll win. We’ll make the playoffs with him at Bay Hill, then we’ll win against the Players and that’ll be it.”That’s another story. It’s going to be a story,” Clark said of the need to work on his short game and focus on the field. Or two. Ludwig Oberg, who was strangely the last man with a chance to beat Scheffler last week, admits there is a gap between the world number one and the rest of the players on tour, but the 24-year-old seems to be a little less focused on Scheffler. etc. About his game and how to beat Scheffler.

“I continue to be myself and continue to make sure that what I’m working on is good. And I think it’s always a never-ending challenge for a golfer to try to get a little bit better, whether it’s putting. I think,’ chipping, short game, hitting the ball, anything,” Oberg said. “I think it’s good that he’s here because he pushes everyone to be a little bit better.”
