by The secret to beating Scottie Scheffler has finally emerged: placing it in a duel against a 10 handicap.
The domination of Scheffler over professional golf course has led him to win 18 times since the beginning of 2022. It is the undeniable world number 1, which this week will continue a third Arnold Palmer Invitational in four attempts. Texan used media tasks before the tournament in Bay Hill to reveal that it is fallible, including in dramatic circumstances to an amateur friend with whom he faced Dallas this weekend.

“He put on a bunker pulled out of 18 to win,” said the 28 -year -old. “I ruled out because I thought he could potentially do it and he ended up the hock. So it was a kind of one of them.
“I didn’t like to lose. I gave him the money, then I said to him: “Thank you, guy. Now, I have to go play in a golf tournament next week, so I appreciate the confidence that I have just lost against a handicap of 10. “”
It should be noted that the double masters champion laughed in a self-depreciating way during the story of this story. “I still love cutting it with my friends on weekends, playing games of money and playing,” he added. “It’s a kind of one of the great things in golf, I can go out with a guy who will get 90 and I can give him enough strokes where we are going to have a good competition. This is what makes him so fun in the golf course. I don’t think my position has ever changed on this subject, it has always been really fun. “”
Professional golf course finds itself in a pickle as it requires these light episodes. Another former Arnold Palmer champion, Rory McILroy, seemed clearly descending on the prospect of an imminent reunification between the LIVE circuit supported by Saudi Arabia and traditional golf visits. The discussions between the parties concerned took place at the White House last month; The word around the Bay Hill campfire is that the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia was not entirely in love with what seemed offered.
“It takes two in Tango,” said McILroy. “So if one party is arranged and ready and the other is not, it makes things difficult. I don’t think [unification] has already felt so close, but he does not have the impression that it is closer. “”
The Northern Irishman believes that the PGA Tour now has sufficient margin for the error that the conclusion of a successful negotiation may not be necessary. “I think the story around the golf course would host an agreement in terms of simple reception of all the best players together,” said McILroy. “But I don’t think the PGA Tour needs An agreement. I think the momentum is quite strong.
“TV [ratings] were good, tgl [the tech-infused golf league launched by McIlroy and Tiger Woods] Hopefully hope rather additive to the overall situation. I think it would always be the ideal scenario for golf as a whole. But from the point of view of the PGA Tour PGA, I do not think that it is necessarily needs he.”
McILroy has made equipment changes while taking a look at Augusta National and the major opening of the year, which is now little more than a month. Bay Hill’s demanding configuration will offer these clubs shortly to bed.
“Arnold wrote to me a letter almost every year since the time I was eligible to play the event, I think that in 2010, and I did not arrive here before 2015,” said McILroy de Palmer, who died in 2016. “I think there was a time when he said he was going to break my arm if I did not come, then I did it. Not having come a little earlier, because it is a golf course that really sets up really well for me.
