Scottie Scheffler closed the 3M Open with a brilliant 63 to finish 22-under, but even that was not enough to apply the early pressure he wanted.
Starting the final round six shots behind, Scheffler knew he needed an extremely low number. He explains why being only three under on the front nine left him too much work to do and identifies the two stretches earlier in the tournament that ultimately cost him.
Scheffler also gives his honest assessment of Jackson Koivun and the extraordinary young talent arriving from college golf and PGA TOUR University. According to Scheffler, today’s college players are even better prepared for professional golf than his own generation was.
He discusses the mental difficulty of trying to win for the first time, reveals that he has not yet watched Koivun hit a shot in person and explains why the young player’s performance demonstrates exceptional mental strength.
Scheffler also opens up about his relationship with caddie Ted Scott, describing him as one of his closest friends and someone he relies on for much more than golf — including advice about life and parenting.
