Fantastically poised for the final holes. If Fleetwood can find a couple more shots in the last few holes he’ll be somewhere near
Outrageous. Thought it was in.What a shot by Scheffler
Never thought he had it. Homa and Aberg the hopesWell Morikawa’s race is run
Same not a fan for some reason.Outrageous. Thought it was in.
For whatever reason I can't warm to him though. Too robotic maybe? Feel like he doesn't play interesting golf. Just the best golf.
Who said he's boring?Scottie still gets this boring thing thrown at him?
Someones gonna have to get his mistresses to sort this out.
Not gonna lie, I probably wouldn't recognise him if he tee'd off in front of me, yet alone walked past me. But I love that he looks like a total regular dude.He needs a cooler name, more personality, and be 7 years younger.
Oh he's undoubtedly playing some of the best golf we've ever seen. But dunno, it doesn't have the jeopardy or the creativity of some out there. It's just excellent. I quite like the scrambling masters and the crazy shot shapers."too robotic" and "doesn't play interesting" followed by "same" by someone else.... all implies that, if it doesn't, then cool, but be more specific.
But it's been a common thing thrown at him since he won his first jacket. You don't win (probably) 2 Masters before you're 30 by being robotic anyway. 1 potentially... but he's got a colossal game and makes creative stuff look robotic because he's so goddamn good at it, his short game is insanely good.
I never get the robotic thing. He literally has a swing that would break the ankles of anybody else who tried it."too robotic" and "doesn't play interesting" followed by "same" by someone else.... all implies that, if it doesn't, then cool, but be more specific.

I totally agree, I also think he's pretty goddamn aggressive due to his confidence of knowing he can just recover around the green so effortlessly. It's an odd criticism to me that because he's not in trouble much, he doesn't play crazy out there shots seemingly. He's close to peak Tiger-levels of consistency... with a far more talented field than Tiger ever had to contend with.I never get the robotic thing. He literally has a swing that would break the ankles of anybody else who tried it.
That he has the best iron control of any player on tour with that much movement is nothing short of incredible.
You seem to be completely conflating his personality and demeanour with his golf game, he has literally every shot in the world in his bag, he hits it high, low, draw or fade. Any shot he needs he has, his short game is outrageous, and his ball striking is better than prime Tiger. His swing is incredibly unorthodox, he's the opposite of the generic, robot tour player whose swing was manufactured by some top 100 coach.Oh he's undoubtedly playing some of the best golf we've ever seen.

It'll be fascinating if he can stay at this level. Golf is so weird like that, no one seems to be able to stay dialed in for more than a couple years. I thought Spieth was going to, and Rory and Rahm and now Scottie.
Agree with this. Watching what he did on Friday when playing with Rory showed the stark difference between them. In that wind, Rory really struggled because he has one shot with a big high ball flight. Whereas Scheffler’s control of the golf ball was incredible.You seem to be completely conflating his personality and demeanour with his golf game, he has literally every shot in the world in his bag, he hits it high, low, draw or fade.

I think 90% of the audience are pleased he's having a bad day.Not gonna lie I’m not unhappy Bryson is off it.
I think the camera angle was on a straight line with his ball and the initial pitch mark in the bunker and so it was a bit of an illusion.What happened to Scheffler's ball there? It was 100% plugged and then suddenly it was a foot away.
Ah yeah, that was probably it.I think the camera angle was on a straight line with his ball and the initial pitch mark in the bunker and so it was a bit of an illusion.
