Scottie Scheffler is motivated to make history at the upcoming tournament, The Players Championship, and not only that, but also throughout this season in general. The 28-year-old amazed the public last year when he successfully defended his title at this tournament, but to do the same this time would be a real feat to talk about.
Many fans are wondering what is the recipe for his dominance in this tournament, and his colleague and well-known name, Justin Thomas explained why Scottie is so dominant in this tournament.
The American golfer stressed that driving the ball is the key to success in this tournament, and Scheffler is the absolute winner in that field.
“I think driving the ball is extremely important here, which is a huge reason Scottie has not only done well here but everywhere, especially here,” Thomas said, as quoted by The News & Observer.
“Driving the ball is a premium because you have a lot of scoring clubs and four par-5s and birdie opportunities. Getting it in play off the tee, and then from there just taking each hole and each shot for what it’s worth.”
Justin Thomas explains his views about Scheffler
Justin Thomas explained how mindset is key to success in a tournament like this. He emphasized the importance of being in the right frame of mind, having a lot of patience, and accepting the challenges that courses like this bring.
This great golfer highlighted that it is crucial to stay present in the moment, focus on each shot and try to play it to the best of your ability, accepting whatever comes your way and not getting bogged down by failures.
It is well known that golf, just like other sports, is actually a mental game. Although there are many talented golfers, Scottie seems to be the person who is mentally the strongest on the PGA Tour, not letting anything get in his way on his way to success. Such a mindset brought him huge successes, and could bring more.
