Scottie Scheffler after Travelers Championship Round 1: Swing feels better | Golf Channel

>>> A LOT OF HORSEPOWER ATOP THE LEADERBOARD WITH AUSTIN ECKROAT. BEHIND HIM McILROY AND BRADLEY. SCHEFFLER 8 UNDER PAR AS WELL. HE HAS JOINED GEORGE SAVARICAS. >> THANK YOU. DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THE DEFENDING CHAMP TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE FELT WITH WORLD NUMBER ONE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. THE 8 UNDER 62, WHAT WERE THE KEYS TO YOUR ROUND IN WINDY CONDITIONS? >> IT GOT PRETTY DIFFICULT OUT THERE. IT WAS WHITE WINDY. YEAH, I GOT THE BALL IN PLAY, GAVE MYSELF A LOT OF LOOKS. OUTSIDE THE BOGEY ON 17, DIDN’T LOSE MOMENTUM. HIT SOME QUALITY SHOTS. >> CONTRAST FROM LAST WEEK WHERE PAR WAS A GREAT ROUND. YOU DIDN’T BREAK PAR, YET YOU HAVE A TOP TEN FINISH, TODAY 8 UNDER. YOU ARE A CO-LEADER. IS THERE A MINDSET SHIFT FROM EUROPEAN TEAM TO TPC RIVER HIGHLANDS? >> YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO EXECUTE. IF I HIT IT LAST WEEK LIKE I DID TODAY, I WOULD HAVE SHOT DIFFERENT SCORES OUT THERE. I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BREAK PAR. MOST MO OF IT WAS BATTLING MY SWING AND THIS WEEK FINDING A LITTLE SOMETHING AND JUST GOING OUT THERE AND HITTING A LOT OF FAIRWAYS, A LOT OF GREENS, AND GIVE MYSELF GOOD LOOKS TODAY AND HOLE A FEW PUTTS. >> IN YOUR PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU LIKE TPC RIVER HIGHLANDS. YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE WINNING SCORE. WHAT SUITS YOUR EYE? >> I THINK YOU HAVE A NICE FINISH. I THINK THERE IS ALWAYS EXCITEMENT ON SUNDAYS AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT FANS ENJOY TO WATCH. THIS TOURNAMENT GETS GREAT CROWD SUPPORT. THE AMPHITHEATER ON 18 IS COOL. 18 IS UNDERRATED. IF YOU HIT A GOOD DRIVE, YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE BIRDIE. IF NOT YOU WILL BE IN THE BUNKER ON THE LEFT HITTING A WEDGE. IN THE RIGHT ROUGH, TROUBLE KEEPING THE BALL IN THE GREEN. I THINK THERE IS REWARDS FOR GOOD SHOTS AND PUNISHMENT FOR BAD ONES. TODAY I HIT SOME GOOD SHOTS THAT I WAS REWARDED. >> STEVE SANDS MENTIONED WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK. YOU ARE CLINGING TO YOUR 20s FOR ANOTHER YEAR. YOU HAVE YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOU ARE THE DEFENDING CHAMP HERE. IS IT A NICE WEEK YOU SPEND WITH FAMILY? >> YEAH, THIS IS AN AWESOME WEEK FOR US. THIS IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE STOPS ON TOUR. THE WAY THE TOURNAMENT RUNS EVERYTHING AROUND HERE IS TOP NOTCH. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. EVERYBODY IS SUPER KIND. WE ARE STAYING CLOSE TO THE COURSE. IT’S A NICE WEEK AFTER THE STRESS OF PLAYING THE U.S. OPEN TO COME
