- Scheffler was arrested after a “misunderstanding” with Louisville police
- Until 10 days ago, in the meantime, there was talk of a crisis of form for the star
- He became a battra with McILroy and the defending champion Xander Schauffele
The shirt is intact and the hat hat, Scottie Scheffler looked a little ruffled while he was unleashed around the hollow quail between storm delays on Tuesday.
As a visual, he did not belong to the same postal code as a mugshot in Orange prison scrubs, but it would seem that the PGA championship favored a habit of bringing the unexpected of him.
We are almost a full year of most surreal scenarios, derived from his arrest during this tournament for having crossed a police cord. Good and bizarre to an equal measure.
And perhaps the same thing could be said of stories before the tournament here, which would seek to see the days approaching exclusively through the objective of Rory Mcilroy. If the latter’s victory at Augusta brings the fascination to see him tirelessly and unleashed on a course he has effectively, when it is in the world n ° 1?
It is only according to the ridiculous standards of Scheffler that there are, up to 10 days ago, stifled a conversation on a crisis, with origins traced to an almost strange incident as its “ misunderstanding ” with the Louisville metro police department. It would be the serious hand injury that he suffered at Christmas while cutting ravioli with a wine glass and the four months without a victory he preceded.
Having an eight -time victory at the CJ Cup was a categorical way to close this conversation, if indeed, it was necessary after five top 10 departures in its fallow period. He also presented the most of the possibilities for this week, because he opposes Scheffler against Mcilroy when the two are in hot form.

Scheffler won an eight -blow victory at CJ Cup to talk about a diving in bed
He will dispute the first two laps of the same group as the winner of the masters Rory McILroy
That they will dispute the first two laps of the same group with the defending champion, Xander Schauffele, have the potential to make a debate on whom, to their best, would have the advantage. Never like shouting the chances, it is nevertheless undeniable that Scheffler feels his peak.
“I definitely started the year a little more difficult than I expected to enter the deadly as a season because of the injury,” he said here on Tuesday evening.
“Was it more difficult than I thought?” I don’t think. I knew it was not going to be super easy, but at the end of the day, things happen. Life is coming. I don’t regret anything I did. It is only one of those offers that occurs in life. Sometimes you hurt yourself and I can’t live in a bubble.
And now? “I talked a bit about how I felt like my game was trendy, so it was nice to see some results of a lot of work to start the year, and I have the impression that my game is in a good place. I think it would be silly to say that I cannot take a little of this momentum in this tournament.
The story tells us that when the game of Scheffler is in a “good place”, only a traffic crime can hinder. Its length of the T-shirt and the precision of the second blow is certainly a massive asset on this brute of 7,626 yards of a course, compensating for never having played a PGA Tour event here. On the other hand, McILroy won four titles on this track and has the perfect shape of right on the left for the arrangement.
Together, they are considered the favorites, alongside Bryson Dechambeau, whose huge shot will also be a vast force on a route imbued by the rain in the last two days. Like Scheffler, Liv Rebel has won its latest tournament, so trust will not be a problem.
His eyes are fixed in a revenge match with McILroy, after his schooling before nine in the last round in Augusta. Dechambeau said: “I think it’s a golf course that is doing well enough for Rory, and I think that puts me in place for me too. We will see.
“I hope we can have another return to the masters.”
