Scottie Scheffler breaks the final section in TPC Scottsdale – Yahoo Canada Sports

Who is better than the World No. 1 Scottie Director to break the final section in TPC Scottsdale? With wins the WM Phoenix Open in 2022-23 and T-3 last year, there is talk of renaming TPC Scottie-Dale.

On Wednesday, during his press conference before the tournament, 28-year-old Sheffler was asked to describe the finishing section, which consists of an accessible, risk par 5 5 on 15, guarded by water in front of the green, the scandalous para-3 16 16^th With 20,000 screaming fans, the Par-4 17-17^thwhere Andy Maggie once made Ace and PAR-4 18^th With a bunker to eat a ball to the right and water that rises to the left.

“What I like in the final here is the room for the opportunity. There is a punishment. I think when I think of great golf courses and great tests, this is not always the most difficult test. I like to see the opportunity for great staff and punishment for the poor, “Schaeffler said.

He continued: “You look at a hole like 15, where you can step there and hit two really good pictures and take an eagle, but you can easily pull it into the water from the Troika. The second shot can hit a great shot on the green or you can easily hit it in the water and make a removal.

“You never feel you are out of the tournament. There is always the opportunity there if you are close. I think that’s exactly what makes the great finishes and I think that makes the great golf. I think sometimes we are so obsessed with the most difficult test is the best, but I think as players we want to see awards for good staff and punishment for bad ones. “
