Scottie Scheffler is you’re 2022 Masters champion. In the second round, he took the lead over Sun Jay Im and could not be caught. Before the Master’s, I didn’t think that Scheffler would win with the talented field that was in front of him. During the final round, I honestly thought Rory McElroy would catch him. This was a well-deserved victory for Scheffler and his first Major PGA win.
This year’s Master’s was nothing short of incredible. When playing on this course in Augusta, Georgia, the weather is usually the most significant factor, especially the wind. For the first three days, the weather was windy and cool, making for tough plays on already one of the most challenging courses in the world. However, Scheffler was so focused that he didn’t let it bother him, or he didn’t show his disgust at it either.
Scottie Scheffler has been one of the more exciting golfers on this year’s tour field. He is not a very flamboyant golfer or a showboat. Scheffler is a very reserved golfer and shows it on the course. He tries to block everything out that is going on around him to focus on his round. There were a ton of distractions during the Master, from weather to fans, and he did not let that bother him one bit. Scheffler’s run to the masters is nothing short of incredible. He has quietly been climbing up the ranks in the golf world and will be at the top for a long time. I can’t imagine how he must’ve felt after winning the Masters
Scottie Scheffler grew up in Texas, and he is only the third most famous athlete to come out of Highland Park High school in Texas. The other two athletes that went there were Matthew Stafford and Clayton Kershaw. His first amateur win was in the 2011 Legends Junior Match Play Championship. His second win came in the US Junior Amateur in 2013. The third came at the Junior Innovational in 2014. His last amateur win came in 2015 at the Annual Western Intercollegiate tournament. He has been climbing the ladder fast on tour, and we expect him to be at the top for a long time.
