LAST WEEK, TIED THIRD FOR THE SAINT JUDE CHAMPIONSHIP. JUST ONE STROKE SHY OF A PLAYOFF BETWEEN JUSTIN ROSE AND J.J. SPAUN. IT IS QUITE A SEASON. HE’S HAD 14, 12 HAVE BEEN TOP EIGHT FINISHES IN A ROW AND NO ONE HAS DONE THAT SINCE 1973. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WILL BE WITHOUT HIS CADDY FOR ANOTHER WEEK, HE WILL HAVE THE USUAL CADDY FOR CHRIS KIRK FOR THE MW CHAMPIONSHIP. SCOTT RETURN HOME TO LOUISIANA TO ATTEND TO A FAMILY MATTER. FILLING IN FOR THE FINAL ROUND WAS BRAD PAYNE. A CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER MET WITH THE MEDIA TODAY. >> HOW IS THE ADJUSTMENT BEEN WITH MIKE ON THE BAG? >> MIKE IS A GREAT GUY, HE DOES A GREAT JOB. WE ARE LEARNING A NEW GOLF COURSE. >> DOES THAT CHANGE PREPARATION AT ALL, GETTING TO KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE AND HOW HE WORKS”–? >> HE WILL ASK LITTLE STUFF, A LOT OF IT IS MORE ROUTINE, HOW DO YOU LIKE ME TO GIVE YOU THE NUMBERS. WHEN I SAY I’M HITTING A HOLD SHOT, HE’S LIKE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT’LL STUFF LIKE THAT WE ARE FIGURING OUT AS THE WEEK GOES ON. JUST LITTLE STUFF LIKE THAT. HEY, WHAT IS YOUR HYDRATION? WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? LITTLE STUFF LIKE THAT. THERE ARE LITTLE THINGS THAT CADDIES DO THAT GO UNNOTICED AND MICHAEL IS TRYING TO DO HIS BEST TO FIGURE THIS OUT. >> HAVE YOU KNOWN HIM A LONG TIME? >> TED IS GOOD BUDDIES WITH HIM. HE’S A GOOD GUY, HE WORKS HARD. CHRIS WAS VERY NICE TO COME WORK WITH ME THIS WEEK. HE HAD A GOOD FINISH TO THE SEASON. HE WAS A LITTLE ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN BUT PLAYED REALLY GOOD. IT WAS REALLY NICE OF HIM TO LEND HIS CADDY TO ME FOR THE WEEK. >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] — A RESPONSIBILITY THAT FALLS ON YOU — [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> FOR INSTANCE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT SUNDAY LAST WEEK, I THINK THAT WAS MORE OF A SURPRISE FOR ME AND TED. BRAD IT DID A GREAT JOB STEPPING IN BUT BRAD IS A FRIEND, NOT A PROFESSIONAL CADDY. MICHAEL — IT’S NOT THAT I DON’T TRUST BRAD TO DO THE NUMBERS BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BE DOUBLE CHECK EACH OTHER AND GOING INTO THIS WEEK, IT WILL BE MORE OF A NORMAL ROUTINE FOR ME. DOING THE NUMBERS MYSELF IS A BIT MORE WORK AND DOING THAT OVER A FOUR DID — DAY EVENT, IT’S A LITTLE MUCH. WHEN THE NUMBERS COME, WE TRY TO DIAL IT IN. >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I’M NOT GOING TO ANSWER ANYTHING LIKE THAT. TED IS WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE, RIGHT NOW, I THINK CADDY IS THE LAST THING ON HIS MIND, AS IT SHOULD BE. HIS FAMILY IS IN GOOD SPIRITS, EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL, I’M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ANY FURTHER ON ANYTHING GOING ON WITH HIS FAMILY. >> DO YOU HAVE A TAKE ON KEEGAN AND IF HE’S PLAYING WELL, HIM BEING A PART OF YOUR GROUP? >> YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK THE CAPTAIN THAT QUESTION. I THINK, LOOKING AT OUR SQUAD, I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD GROUP OF GUYS, I THINK KEEGAN CAN ONLY HELP THAT. I THINK IF KEEGAN WANTS TO BE ON THE TEAM AND PLAY, I THINK WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO HAVE HIM ON THE TEAM. THE INTENSITY HE HAS BROUGHT AS CAPTAIN, HE HAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. HE’S DONE A GREAT JOB, HE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE RYDER CUP, IT’S BEEN FUN WATCHING HIM DEVELOP INTO THIS ROLE. WE ARE EXCITED. >> HE HAS SAID THAT HE’S HOPING GUYS WILL GO TO NAPA, HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION ABOUT THAT? >> YES, MY PLANS ARE TO PLAY NAPA, OUTSIDE OF SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, I WILL PROBABLY BE PLAYING. >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I LOVE ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RYDER CUP BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WE ARE AT THE BMW CHAMPIONSHIP. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK, IF NOT, I HAVE PRACTICES TO DO, I’M GETTING READY FOR A GOLF TOURNAMENT. >> THE RAREST THING IN GOLF, A LITTLE SNAPPY NESTS. THAT IS THE KIND OF FOCUS YOU GET ON SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, HE’S VERY MUCH DRILLED IN ON WHAT THIS DREAM IS. HE’S NOT CONCERNING HIMSELF WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING SIX WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD, HE IS FOCUSED ON WHAT HE IS DOING NOW, WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN. >> I THINK WE HAVE LEARNED MORE AND MORE ABOUT SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. THIS IS A KEY LESSON I THINK WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION MORE. ONLY THREE THINGS MATTER, ROUTINE, ROUTINE, ROUTINE. TALKING ABOUT THE RYDER CUP, IT BREAKS THEM OUT OF HIS ROUTINE. YOU HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT HAVING A NEW CADDY ON THE BAG BROKE THEM OUT OF WHAT HE WOULD NORMALLY DO. COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE. YOU CAN GET INTO THE MIND OF A CHAMPION.
