After emphasizing PGA, Scottie Scheffler tells the world his secret

Charlotte, NC – You can keep asking him, but Scottie Scheffler won't tell him.

The world number one, learned his great secret long ago, and then he threw away the key.

But, if you look closely Saturday In the afternoon at the PGA Championship, you saw it. (Yes, for Mr. Schefler, even if the final round led to Schefler winning his third career title.

There, starting on Saturday's 16th hole, Schaffler decided to end the golf championship as early as possible. As the chaser approached and the pressure grew higher, Schefler reached the nails onto the side walls of the game and laughed as the air sucked. He fell two birdies, poured a par in the three hardest holes in the hollow of Quill, moving from a clear field to three, and then he tried something new when the final bird fell on the 18th. As the ball fell into the bottom of the hole, Schefler stared at it and screamed.

“F ***Yes, baby! ! ”

The crowd was so busy crying (the chasers were so busy) that they noticed what had just happened, but the keen observer knew they had seen something interesting. Scottie Scheffler just told us his secret.

Twenty-four hours later, Scottie Scheffler poured another putt on Quail Hollow's 18th – it was Bogey's and then let out another scream of justice.

“Yes!!! F ***Yes!!! That's what I'm talking about!”

He just won his third big title and won his first game outside the Augusta Nationals. Perhaps most impressive is that this field seems to have taken him so long.

“I had to be more precise and fix the issues I could solve to make myself more consistent and stand there,” Bryson DeChambeau (T2) said. “Like what Scottie is doing now.”

“Again, I’m trying to do my own thing,” Keegan Bradley (T8) said. “My starts so badly that I really didn’t have a chance to catch up with Scottie.”

Scheffler's abilities are literally powerful. He will tilt and tilt until something witheres – whether it's a golf course or a field, or in the case of the week it's the driver's face. He is a 28-year-old three-time Grand Slam champion with the kind of golf game that can travel and compete anywhere in the world. He is the third fastest player ever, behind Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. He is a player with no obvious weakness, and one's margin has expanded and set it to be reduced.

“I mean, unless you're Scottie or something, you don't deliberately hit it there,” Max Homa said after driving to the foot on the 14th hole on Friday.

As if he heard Homa's challenge, Schefler got on the same T-shirt on Saturday. deliberately Shoot his t-shirt three feet and pour it into the kick to start the Hawks starting his oxygen ride from the back nine.

This is another rare feature of Scottie Scheffler: Once he leads, he won't back off. He didn't give up on the golf game until Sunday, and it was hard to recall the time he ceded any kind of time when he was late. Eventually, even Sunday's swing – three bogeys in his first nine holes to briefly reduce his advantage – will be forgotten. When calculating the score, he won five.

These gifts are just symptom Scheffler's illness has suffered – it has lived in every great golfer since its inception. Scheffler owns itdistinguish good people from great things. It is called passion, appearance or mindset, but we call it fire – a white-hot flame that burns hot and bright flames beneath the surface.

Scottie Scheffler looks different from other great players. He won't let people slip away, stare at the soul, nor try to smash the skull. He smiled, smiled and quoted quickly office. His press conferences occasionally go the same as the wish of a professional middle manager.

A: “Not really. I don't focus on this kind of thing.”
Q: Do you want to win or smash your opponent?
A: “This is a tough question...”
Q: If you look statistically, you'll actually be better [than Tiger Woods]how do you do this?
A: “I don't know. We did a lot of work.“

But the facts are impossible to avoid. On days like Sunday, it arrives instantly, and Schaffler once again choked on the court like a great snake. He may be a person with confidence and unusual dedication in his family, but a person with faith and unusual dedication can also be a killer.

“He hates losing. We all want to,” said Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald. “If you don't have a fire, you'll never be a great player.”

“He wants to win everything“Whether it's golf, pickles, whatever,” said Scheffler's coach Randy Smith.

We saw Scheffler's fire boiling in a new way on Sunday when he grabbed Wanamaker and smashed Nike hat into the turf with his rage. As he leaves the 18th Green in a few seconds, we remember him unlike the great man before him, finding a family of worship, waiting for his embrace. They cried almost casually, just as they were used to routine, before Schefller entered the score to collect the trophy.

Scheffler supported his one-year-old son Bennett and laughed as he walked to the kitchen outside the 18th hole to enter the new life of the three-time main champion. Scheffler is in an almost fanatical moment of balance. One shoulder is the promotion of his competitive fire, the greatest achievement in his recent life. Another sitting person embodies everyone Schaffler cared for at the end of golf.

As he walks, smart viewers know they are witnessing the great secret of Scottie Scheffler.

Not fire or family, but the ability to hold his shoulders immediately.

The truth is coming out Nearly an hour later, in the news room.

Schefller performed his usual tap dance in front of the camera on the right side of Wanamaker. Now he thought about it, his victory was amazing – no, he was getting closer and closer to the greatest golfer of all time was something he never thought of.

But then, a reporter asked a question that Schefler could not hide.

Would you say you are competitive?

Scheffler paused, flashing a million watts of smile.

“Um … Yes. ”

It was a route of complete truth, and everyone knew it, including the Schaffler family, who squeezed around the corner of the room and watched Scotty collect his victory.

They laughed as he delivered the line, and Scotty did the same.

The flames flashed life as they all knew they would.
