Scottie Scheffler Dominates in Return to Golf
After a two-month break, Scottie Scheffler returned to the golf course with a bang. He won the Hero World Challenge with a record-tying score of 63, dominating the competition by six shots.
Scheffler, who has held the world No. 1 ranking for a year, now has nine victories in 21 starts, including two Masters titles and an Olympic gold medal. He took an early lead in the final round and never looked back, putting away the competition with a 50-foot birdie putt.
Tom Kim, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth followed behind, but none could match Scheffler’s consistency. He made only two bogeys over 72 holes, showcasing his exceptional ball-striking and putting.
Scheffler experimented with a new putting grip, the “claw,” which helped improve his putting accuracy. Tournament host Tiger Woods praised Scheffler’s lack of mistakes, comparing him to his own dominant runs.
Despite his success, Scheffler remains humble and focused on improvement. He plans to continue working on his game in the offseason and prepare for the upcoming season. His dominance continues to rewrite the history books, with his winning rate ranking among the highest in the past 40 years.
