Sorotan dari babak final The Players Championship saat Scottie Scheffler meraih kemenangan lima pukulan untuk kembali ke peringkat 1 dunia
Scottie Scheffler memberikan peringatan yang tidak menyenangkan kepada para pesaingnya dengan mengatakan dia masih berharap untuk berkembang setelah meraih kemenangan di The Players.
Scheffler, yang kemenangannya di Sawgrass membuatnya menggantikan Jon Rahm sebagai petenis nomor satu dunia, menyelesaikan lima pukulan di depan petenis Inggris Tyrrell Hatton saat ia mengklaim kemenangan keenamnya dalam 13 bulan terakhir.
Tahun sarat trofi pemain berusia 26 tahun itu termasuk kemenangan di The Masters di Augusta National April lalu dan dua kali memenangkan WM Phoenix Open.
Dia berkata: “Saya hanya berharap untuk meningkat. Saya hanya mencoba untuk menjadi sedikit lebih baik pada suatu waktu, tidak terlalu memikirkan hal-hal dan untungnya, saya dapat melihat beberapa hasil yang baik dan menikmati beberapa kemenangan.
Scheffler melakukan putt 20 kaki untuk memenangkan The Players di Sawgrass pada hari Minggu
“Saya pikir saya merasa nyaman dengan permainan saya. Saya merasa seperti berkembang. Saya pasti belajar lebih banyak dan lebih banyak lagi ketika saya terlibat dalam persaingan. Saya akan mengatakan bahwa saya mungkin sedikit lebih nyaman mengetahui apa yang saya perlu dilakukan.
“Saya bersemangat untuk ujian keras yang bagus. Saya merasa bisa menemukan cara untuk membuat pars dan bertahan di sana. Saya suka tantangan di lapangan golf yang lebih sulit. Turnamen ini terasa seperti kejuaraan besar bagi saya.”
Scheffler menyia-nyiakan keunggulan enam tembakan dengan satu putaran tersisa di Kejuaraan Tur Agustus lalu dan mengatakan bahwa kekecewaan membuat kemenangannya di The Players “jauh lebih manis”.
Scheffler menambahkan: “Ini adalah olahraga yang sangat sulit. Saya telah menempatkan diri saya pada posisi sepanjang tahun di mana saya memiliki kesempatan untuk memenangkan FedExCup, dan saya tidak dapat menyelesaikannya. Saat tiba di rumah, saya lusuh.
Scheffler: Kekalahan di Tour Championship membuat saya ‘terkuras’
Scheffler bersyukur dan lega setelah mengamankan kemenangan di ajang andalan PGA Tour itu
“Saya terkuras secara mental dan fisik, terkuras secara emosional. East Lake cukup menantang untuk saya tangani.
“Itu jelas sangat menyedihkan dan sulit dan saya tidak berharap semuanya berakhir seperti itu. Tapi masa-masa sulit membuat saat-saat indah menjadi lebih manis.”
Mengenai kesuksesannya, Scheffler menambahkan: “Saya tidak pernah terlalu memikirkan diri saya sendiri. Saya selalu berusaha untuk tetap berada dalam gelembung kecil saya sendiri. Saya hanya terus berusaha untuk menjadi sedikit lebih baik. Saya tidak pernah benar-benar melihat terlalu jauh ke depan.
“Saya melakukan pekerjaan yang baik sebagai junior yang baik, kemudian saya menjadi pemain perguruan tinggi yang cukup baik, kemudian saya bermain bagus di Korn Ferry Tour.
“Saya selalu percaya bahwa saya bisa berhasil di sini dan bermain bagus di PGA Tour, tetapi saya tidak pernah mengharapkannya. Agak sulit untuk menggambarkan perasaan itu.”
Jordan Spieth, yang finis seri ke-19 di Sawgrass dengan enam di bawah par, tidak mengharapkan performa Scheffler turun dalam waktu dekat.
Perhatikan bagaimana Scheffler masuk dari permainan kasar di hole ketiga ronde terakhirnya
Dia berkata: “Saya bermain melawan [Scheffler] banyak di rumah dan secara konsisten dia menembak putaran yang sangat rendah. Dia bisa dibilang pemain terbaik di dunia saat ini. Golfnya sangat luar biasa. 10 teratasnya keluar dari tangga lagu. Dia hanya bermain sebagus itu.
“Dia sangat membumi. Dia memiliki orang tua yang sangat baik, struktur keluarga yang hebat. [Scheffler’s coach] Randy Smith sudah ada sejak lama, bersamanya selamanya.
“Saya tidak melihatnya berubah. Dia dalam posisi yang baik untuk dapat terus melakukan ini untuk sementara waktu.”
