The former coach of Tiger Woods held a radio show. He has a Scottie Scheffler idea
Butch Harmon wants to know other players while talking about Scottie Scheffler.
In doing so, he raises a rhetorical question.
“I mean, can you imagine if all the great players we’re talking about had Scottie Scheffler’s head, they would be much better?” Harmon said.
Highly praised. But that may be higher. One player brought a different idea – a golf Hall of Fame member in the 100 teachers’ hall of teachers’ hall, so he believed he called the radio show on Monday.
Harmon also said Schaffler’s idea was closer to the few championships in golf than anyone else. The day after Shefleur won the Open Championship, won his fourth major title and won the American Professional Grand Slam victory, a coach at Tiger Woods compared him to Jack Nicklaus.
Harmon is Sirius XM “Grape and Sleeve” program. “I think the biggest attribute he has is the thing he’s closest to Jack Nicklaus that I’ve ever seen spiritually. He’s not wrong.
“He reminded me of Jack’s way more important than him than Tiger, in the way he wins, but Jack’s way he plays golf.
This is the conversation at the moment after Scheffler’s victory. Or, perhaps more accurately, the problem. Those asked: How did he do it? Who does he compare?
For one of the show’s co-hosts and his own long-time professional, Colt Knost is Scheffler’s drama on Royal Porthush’s iconic Strike 3 16th hole. Schefller dismissed it on Sunday. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, he birds.
“What did he do, I don’t know how anyone else did,” Harmon said on the radio show. “Look, you probably played it, I played there in May, and that hole is something you know. I mean, it’s too hard. Yes, you can bail it to the left and put it down the hill, but when you miss the right, it’s just a disaster.
“Guys, he has the same control over the ball as anyone, because maybe [Lee Trevino]. I mean, he controls the ball through the air. I love something, I have to give Randy Smith a great honor for it, and he has kept his natural sway throughout his career. He has not changed. You know, everyone is talking about his footwork and all of that. His footwork is perfect when it comes to influence. After that, it is done due to power. But his control over his golf ball in the air, distance, and then how smart he is, I mean, you just said a minute ago, I think the biggest impression I made is that he is not afraid to throw the ball into the middle of the green and make 15 or 20 feet. Nicklaus is the best in the world. ”
But for Harmon, these questions naturally turn toward the woods.
During the show, co-host Drew Stoltz asked if Scheffler’s comparison with the 15-time main champion was justified.
“Well, I think it makes sense if he could do this like a tiger for 20 years,” Harmon began. “I think, yes, he’s on that track, banning injuries unless anything. Look, there’s only one Jack Nicklaus, only one Tiger Woods, let’s face it. Scottie Scheffler has been the best player in the world for three consecutive years.
“Everything he achieved was surprising, but when you look at Nicklaus’ longevity and Tiger’s lifespan, I think he has a long way to go. I don’t think that lets go Scottie down because he’s amazing.”
He added:
“You know, we’ve ever said that anyone who can beat Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods.
“I think this person is in the same category at the moment.”
