okay we’ll get started we’d like to welcome Scotty Sheffer into the interview room here at the RBC Heritage coming off of his second win at the Masters Tournament and he’s won now three out of his last four starts on the PGA tour Scotty welcome uh back to the RBC Heritage if you can just take us back to Sunday and then what the last few days have been like yeah Sunday was was a great day I uh was fortunate to play well and win the tournament um went home on on Sunday night we got home pretty late and so I just just relaxed at home the last couple days with Meredith and then um yeah it’s good to be back here at Hilton Head I like the like the golf course I um I’m trying to focus a bit more on rest in my preparation this week um so only played the back nine today I’ll see the front nine tomorrow when I tee off but um yeah I’m excited to be back fun fun golf course and excited for the week yeah and you had a good week here last year this is your second start at this tournament you finished tied for 11th last year just take just talk a little bit about the difference in coming from Augusta National to a completely different Golf Course here at Harbortown yeah it’s very different I think sometimes when you’re coming from Augusta we were talking about today cuz I think is it 14 that’s the long part three with the water I think I think 14 is of part three with the water and the green just looked so small and I’m sitting there with a six iron looking at this small green and Augusta everything’s kind of really big at times and then you come here and everything is really really small it seems like and so I think it’s a I think it’s a great golf course I think it’s a lot of fun to play I think it’s very interesting I think for some people um you know distance debate type people should if they’re ever looking at golf course design and how to combat people only trying to hit the ball really far need to come here and do a case study on this golf course because it’s really really good you got to curve the ball both directions and you have to control your distance you have to control where the golf Ball’s going it’s not just a place where you can go go bomb it all right we’ll open it up to questions we’ll start with Doug here in the middle there was a picture of you in a Tavern uh yes details please um I don’t really frequent either of those places or that place very very often I don’t I don’t know if I’d actually been to that place before I there was another Tavern around the corner that I’ve been to a few times and it’s it’s a nice place but um shockingly it wasn’t open Sunday at 1:30 in the morning this this place was open um and so on the plane ride home I was with uh you know my manager Blake and my coach Randy then I had you know four four of my good buddies with me me and um I don’t remember who suggested it but it seemed like a good idea and when Meredith picked us up at the airport it still seemed like a good idea and Meredith was was down so we went for about probably 20 minutes and then went home and took a few pho photos had a drink and then and then went home and went to bed was there um was was there any consideration to not playing this week uh not really I uh I I made a commitment to this tournament like I said I like coming here and playing the golf course and um yeah I’m a bit tired right now but I got you know all afternoon today to continue to rest and get ready for the week all right let’s go to Paul here and then we’ll move to Gary and Shane in the back Scotty just off that how did you kind of spend Monday Tuesday either celebrating or just decompressing yeah mostly just decompressing a lot of relaxing at home um we celebrated Monday night we had a few of our friends over to the house ordered some food and um yeah just just looked at some some pictures from from Sunday night and just uh just relaxed and had fun and um yeah nothing crazy all right let’s go to Shane in the back and then we’ll come to will over here on the left Scotty off the off the Master’s thing for a second um I’m wondering if you’re connected or if you feel you’re connected still to people who would be considered an average golf fan people who watch on the weekends and things like that whether it’s your friends your family whatever and if so have you noticed a difference in the way they feel about professional golf yourself not included but just if they like it less if they like it more uh considering everything that’s happened over the last two years if you’ve observed anything on that front so so what’s the what’s the question like what do people you know that are average golf fans do they like golf less do they like golf more do they like it the same because of the live PGA Tour stuff um I think to an average golf fan I mean I wouldn’t say that I am around too many people that are you would say an average golf fan I think for the most part I’m around my friends and it’s pretty much it um so as far as the the average fan goes I’m not really sure I think they’re probably getting a little bit tired of um all the noise I think what’s great about our sport is the competition that’s what I love the most is coming out here and competing um and so if a little bit of the narrative could get shifted back towards that I think that would be would be really nice like you look at something like March Madness and they’re not competing for any any money or anything like that there’s I mean you can look at the women’s game you know the women um in college now that they’re staying four years in school um there’s there’s good rivalries you know that you have teams pitted against each other year after year and it’s it’s really intriguing to watch and it’s not about anything other than um wanting to witness something great and enjoying you know competition all right let’s go to Will and then Kathy over on the right Scotty you mentioned uh over the weekend that your neck flared up a little bit I didn’t know if there was an update there relative to how you were feeling or if if it related at all to what you were going through at sass yeah um I think it was something similar that happened to me at s grass fortunately um fortunately unfortunately everyone to look at it on Sunday morning my neck did start to kind of bother me a little bit the the same little joint kind of bugged me in touch um but fortunately we were able to get ahead of it this time before it completely locked up on on me um and so as far as how I felt Sunday like my warm-up was very stressful because um when the joint starts to lock up everything around it also tightens and so it happens very quick quickly so um you know I was sitting on the couch at home relaxing and then all of a sudden I could feel it and so I got in the shower as quick as I could got ready and went straight to straight to my trainer and um you know we started started working on it pretty um pretty quickly but it definitely was not you know anywhere near my normal warm-up you know I was out late for my warm-up I had to go back in and get taped back up to go back out and play and so the warm-up was a bit stressful but I felt like my my heart rate went down as you know we we’re approaching the the tea time all right Kathy over on the far right right Scotty did you feel any different kind of satisfaction after winning the Masters a second time than you did the first I I think so yeah I think whenever whenever you’re able to do it again I think is really special I don’t know if validation is the right word for the first one but um you know doing something like that twice is is very special and so there’s definitely a good bit of of satisfaction in in accomplishing that okay let’s go to Doug and then Alex and then we’ll move over to the right here Doug and Alex do you feel do you two things do you feel like you’re looked at any differently by your by your peers do you think they’re do you think they’re worried about you do I think they’re worried about me not your health or anything like that no I I know that but do I think they’re worried about me yeah do they think oh no Scotty’s in the field we got our we got our hands full this week I don’t think so I think I think just like I do I think they enjoy good competition and I think that’s something that we’re looking forward to this week week um you know when I was first coming up on tour I always wanted to compete with the guys that were playing the best you know I I got excited for the events like this where the best players were there and um yeah I think I think it would be you know enjoyable if I’m up there on the on the leaderboard on Sundays because I think guys want to beat players when they’re at their best I’m sure if you had you know Stephen jger sitting here he’d be saying like yeah I want I want to compete against SC I want to play with him and then you know you get results like like wins and stuff like that so I wouldn’t say that they would be worried I think they would be you know more excited and and secondly the the thing on Sunday night’s kind of interesting because I I think in your own words you’ve never really celebrated enough at at a lot of your wins what what possessed you to finally you know celebrate a little bit Yeah I think that I mean that’s a good question I think you know part of what part of how I felt Sunday morning was I you know I said I I wish that I didn’t want to win as badly as I as I wanted as I did you know I wanted to win that tournament really really badly for a number reasons you know I wanted to put the green jacket back on I wanted um to be able to have that plane ride home with the jacket us all having fun and it’s kind of weird living through those times in your life where you’ve dreamt about having moments like that and then all of a sudden they’re happening um and so Sunday was really fun just to kind of have have some good friends and celebrate enjoy the moment um you know those are guys that have we’ve walked through a lot of stuff over the last you know 8 to 10 years or so and so it was it was very special all of us getting to be together and um you know celebrate something something great happening together all 20 minutes of it in the tavern well you know we we were on the plane together for a while and um but yeah that was more you know for Meredith and then it was like okay okay it closes at two like May finished her I think she finished her hinin zero and it was like okay now we can go lastly Scotty and um when you look back at at the year of 22 with the green jacket and now that you have it again are there things that that you would like to take it do with it differently than than in the first year um I think right now the way I want to I feel is I want to wear it around the house more um but as far as stuff to do with it I think I’ll I think I’ll probably do something similar I think I liked going to some of the sporting events in Dallas you know we had Rangers win the World Series last year um you know the Mavs are playing some good basketball um stars are heading into the playoffs as well and so I’d like to like to go to some more games and um I mean I’ll be home for a few weeks now obviously things will be a little bit different you know with Meredith expecting pretty soon so um you know we’ll we’ll see but hopefully go to a few more sporting events all right let’s move over to Alex here on the right yeah Scotty first off Windam was just in here and he said he felt like there was a gap between you and the rest of the PJ tour do you feel that way and if so how big of a gap do you feel there is I I don’t really spend much time thinking about that that kind of stuff um you know I won the tournament last week and now we’re here in a it’s Wednesday and we’re all at even par again so we I mean it it seems like to me in my head that everything starts over each week and so it doesn’t matter what I’m ranked going into of the week it it only really matters kind of where you sit at the end of the week so going into this week um you know it’ll be a bit more challenging than it was last week just because I think playing in contention at Majors and especially winning takes a lot out of you I mean there’s there’s a lot of stuff that goes on after the Masters on Sunday and you know you get home very late and um emotionally I think I’m a bit drained but um you know we’re starting to even par and so I’m going to go home this afternoon and get as much rest and Recovery as possible and show up tomorrow ready to play you know I I was on a radio show earlier today and Colt asked me you know if I thought about withdrawing and I was like no I I committed to this tournament and you know I’m not shown up here just to walk around and play little golf like I left my pregnant wife at home to come here and play a golf tournament I’m here to to to play and hopefully play well you know I’m not here just you know for fun okay and I as I know you were a little busy on Sunday but there were two of your uh Masters champions that won the or didn’t win but made the cut and played on the weekend that were over 60 uh with Olo and VJ sing could you kind of just talk about how difficult that is to have done last week yeah I think with the way the golf course was playing with how challenging it was that experience that those guys have around Augusta really really helped them and I mean just because they’re older now doesn’t mean they can’t really play anymore I mean you look at a guy like Tom Watson almost won the open you know when he was about their age not sure exactly how old he was but um you know it’s always still in there and I think it’s really special when you can kind of see them bring it back out like I had Balls next to Jose Maria on uh one of the days at the beginning of the week and I was amazed with how solid he was still hitting the golf ball like it had you know a nice noise to it still um which is I mean his age is EXT extremely impressive and so it’s always in there it’s just a matter of when they can kind of tap into it and so when you get conditions like that around that golf course I think it it can kind of be exposed how much talent those guys really did have or do have sorry let’s go over to the right here and then we’ll move back to Adam Scotty uh playing in the proam of nine holes can you learn much about the course and when you’re playing around the nine holes do you talk much with the amateurs and what do you talk about yeah it’s a good question what do we talk about random stuff mostly just you know good bit of small talk kind of where you from how’d you get here stuff like that and um yeah I can learn a decent amount about the course you know Green speeds uh firmness of the greens how the runoff areas are playing um hit a few shots out of the sand see how the Sand’s playing the there was a few spots last year that I remembered being you know very difficult places to get it up and down and when Teddy was kind of taking me around showing me some of the areas this year it didn’t seem as challenging I think maybe the conditions were a little softer you know this morning than they will be obviously on Saturday and Sunday and so my memories of the golf course are Tad different than what I felt this morning but we’ll see how the course plays you know as the week kind of goes on all right back to Adam and then we’ll wrap it up one more ludig was in earlier and he mentioned meeting you for the first time in Rome at the Ryder Cup your just want to get your initial impressions of him and and the rapid rise that he’s had so quickly yeah I mean I hadn’t played much golf with him i’ I’d heard about him and you know he’d been playing some really good golf last summer but I’d never been paired with him I do I think we met maybe at one of the dinners one night I think they we ended up sitting next to each other and I think his his girlfriend was there and my wife was there and seems like a really nice guy uh I’ve played a couple practice ons with him this year and um he definitely is a really nice guy he’s fun to be around he’s got got a good personality I think he’s got the right personality to be successful out here for a long time you know he uh he’s very competitive but he doesn’t seem to take take himself too seriously um and he seems like a guy that works really hard I you know I see him in the trailer after rounds working out like he he’s doing the right things to have a successful career out here and um it’s so funny like the guys coming out of college now are just so ready to play I mean they they really are I mean and so it’s it’s impressive to watch you like seeing guys like that that put in the work put in the time and do things the right way have success and and ludvig is is definitely one of those guys one more um I imagine having a child is going to impact your schedule between now and the PGA Championship how do you think you’re going to be able to prepare for the next major yeah do the best I can um you know I’ll be spending a bit more time at home preparing but um I’ll obviously take a break when the baby comes but we’ll see I don’t know what life looks like but up until when the baby comes you know I’m going to play this week and then I’ll go home and you know basically just just wait you know we’re due at the uh end of the month and um we’ll see when the baby comes I really uh I don’t know you know like I I said last week you know Golf Now is it never was my top priority um but I do love competing and I I I put in the work and so it it’s going to take another notch down in priority when our when our child comes but um you know my my family still comes first and yeah we’ll see how the Prep Prep work goes we take the last one right here with Doug okay Scot I was just curious just how Meredith was doing has she shown any any uh signs any early indications no nothing yet that’s why last week I felt like the story got blown up a bit too much that’s why I feel like I don’t really talk about my personal life very much just because then I have to answer questions and hear about it and I it’s just a bit different and but yeah no signs um no signs of early labor or anything like that but she’s feeling good um very tired but but feeling good and I’m sure she’s probably getting pretty close to getting ready to have that have that baby all right Scotty Chef for thank you sir appreciate your time

No one plays more wins more than this guy.
Just a classy guy..on and off the course
He hates this crap, he just loves to play golf. Same questions over and over again. Go Scottie !!!
Man this guy handles tough and goofy questions so well. Very refined and polished young gentleman
How can anyone not like Scottie! ?
The humility and class of a much older man than his actual age. The man doesn't make many mistakes on the course or off the course.
When you are twenty something, 18 holes of golf can be a marathon.
