Scheffler is the World No. 1 and heavy favorite at Royal Troon, while flashing a unique swing and fancy footwork that is trampling the competition.
TROON, Scotland – The Scottie Scheffler shuffle is such that the purists are prone to wince. It’s something you’d never teach, and if he were someone well below the status of the best golfer in the world, the instinct would understandably be to seek changes.
“When you are aware of that, you can do all sorts of things with the golf ball and with confidence. The bigger and stronger he got, the more his feet started to move with that. But rather than change that so it’ll look pretty, I felt comfortable with what he was doing.’’, where he tied for 41st while DeChambeau captured his second U.S. Open.
Scheffler’s feet move considerably. They move back behind him as he swings. Sometimes they shift toward the target. This happens on most tee shots, especially when he swings hard. It also occurs on longer iron shots. The movement is not as pronounced with shorter clubs. He’s first in strokes gained total, third in strokes gained off the tee and first in strokes gained approach to the green.
He won four of his next five tournaments and finished second in the other. Two more victories have followed, and who knows what might have happened had there not been the issue at the PGA Championship that saw SchefflerScheffler rebounded to tie for eighth at Valhalla, and the U.S. Open result last month was his worst in 18 months.
