Xander Schauffele spoke to the media after finishing tied for 2nd at the PLAYERS Championship
No no no no I’d say you know aame would be a little bit more than 200 uh yeah but I hung in there I I gave myself a realistic chance um not on 18 but on 17 if I made that it you know could have been a different story but uh hung tough
And yeah you know no surprise to see Sky’s name up there uh a little bit I mean I hit some better shots today uh in some tough spots uh I didn’t really convert on on some of the putts that I wanted um when you’re trying to win a
Tournament you got to sort of make those sketchy NF footer and I you know I missed a few of them a couple of them or a few of them on the back nine what are you thinking as you see Scotty’s name charging up yeah I’m I’m going to lick my wounds
Um I probably join them in in in the the hater raate at this moment but um it is what it is you know uh these these the These suck you know when I went to bed last night it’s not exactly how I envisioned walking off the 18th
Green so um lick my wounds and I’m playing next week so just right back to it sure yeah a ton of positives you know I haven’t cracked an egg uh since they moved this tournament to this time of year so um you know to hang there with
The best of them is good for me to know I came in second uh lost by lot though to web I believe uh when it was firm and fast so that second felt different this one sucks a little bit more um but just another close call 16
And 17 18 are pretty fearsome holes to try and press on what what’s the feeling knowing that you have to to go after on those holes where there’s so much danger it’s I mean it’s not too crazy as as weird as that sounds you’re trying to
Win a golf turn tournament um so to me I tell myself all the time if you’re trying to win you got to walk through the fire and if you’re able to walk through unscathed then you’re going to win the tournament you know I feel like i’ been trying to just commit you know
My dad told me a long time ago to commit execute and accept and I’m swallowing a heavy dose of acceptance right now but uh that’s kind of what I did you know I I try to commit and I executed poorly on some shots and here I am accepting it

Keep the chin up Mr X. Most guys did not have the goats to keep it together as long as you.
