OUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Scottie Scheffler is confused. Sure, he’s the best in the world at playing this impossible game. He’s improved every year since turning pro. He wins more frequently than any golfer since Tiger Woods. But he’s puzzled right now, confronting a conundrum.
What is happening in his first rounds?
Scheffler was stuck on that thought Sunday night, about 20 minutes after his first attempt to finish the career grand slam had finished.
“At the end of the day, I don’t know exactly what it is,” he said. “I’ve been pretty good in first rounds over the last few years, and for some reason, the sharpness just hasn’t been there early in tournaments. I haven’t had those leads that I’ve needed in order to win tournaments. I’ve been playing catch-up all year.”
