Masters champ Scheffler sets sights on RBC Heritage
Scottie Scheffler took a little time out to celebrate winning his second Masters title on Sunday, but the world No 1 American is ready to buckle down again at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina.
Scheffler, famously undemonstrative on the course, flew home from Augusta National, checked in on his pregnant wife Meredith, and wore his Masters green jacket to meet up with friends at a Dallas bar.
"Took a few photos, had a drink and then went home and went to bed," Scheffler said Wednesday, reckoning he spent all of 20 minutes at the bar.
Now he's at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head, where he'll seek to add to his tally of three titles in 2024.
Scheffler, who hasn't played a round over par since August, admitted he was feeling the fatigue, but wasn't letting that affect his expectations for the elite PGA Tour Signature event, which features eight of the top 10 players in the world.
"I left my pregnant wife at home to come here and play in a golf tournament. I am here to play and hopefully play well," Scheffler said. "I'm not here just for fun."
That's a sobering thought for the rest of the field.
