Scheffler enters the tournament with one win from his eight starts this season, from which he has made all eight cuts. He has also finished as runner-up on two occasions, with those near misses arriving in his last two appearances.
One such finish came at The Masters at Augusta National, ahead of which Scheffler left his PGA Tour rival Adam Scott really impressed. Adam Scott really impressed by Scottie Scheffler’s mental approach Also playing at the Cadillac Championship, Scott was asked by the media what impresses him most about Scheffler, to which he replied: “Well, I played 18 holes at Augusta with Scottie before the Masters the other week, and even in the practice round I think his mental approach to not just the game, but a round of golf. “It’s like he picks the course apart.
He’s so good, so controlled with his shots that he can kind of pick the course apart. “It’s like how I imagine Nick Faldo played, but a modern version of that. And I mean that all in positive ways.
“I was watching him even practicing and chipping, where he chipped from, it’s very strategic. It seemed like he had all his bases covered and can pick the course apart. “I think when he plays well and from watching I think he didn’t make a bogey the last two weekends he’s played golf.
“It’s just pretty good around those two courses to have 36 holes without a bogey. So it’s his approach, it’s so smart, really. ” Photo by Leckie Wong/Augusta National/Getty Images Adam Scott praises Rory McIlroy’s vulnerability Scott was also presented with the same task regarding Rory McIlroy, who isn’t playing this week but recently emerged victorious at The Masters.
