Rockies Fans Will Be Left Crying at This Insane Scottie Scheffler Stat
@Source: newsweek.com
Summer is in full swing as the Major League Baseball season heats up. But the MLB is not the only thing getting warm. Scottie Scheffler, the world's best golfer, continued his torrid pace on Sunday.Scheffler defended his title at the Memorial on Sunday. In doing so, he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to repeat at Muirfield Village Golf Club. This was Scheffler's third victory in last month on the PGA Tour.He crushed the field at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson a few weeks ago. Scheffler then won the PGA Championship going way, winning by five strokes. Now, he has three titles under his belt since May 2nd.That happens to be the same amount of victories by the Colorado Rockies during that same stretch. The big difference; the Rockies have played 28 games over that span. Scheffler has played in four tournaments.It is difficult to beat a field of 100+ golfers any given week. Never mind, dominate and win three times in less than a month.It might be equally difficult for an MLB team to lose 25 of 28 games. But that is what has happened to the Rockies.Last year, the Chicago White Sox set the MLB record for most losses in a single season ever. They finished 41-121 during their 2024 campaign. The Rockies are on pace to break that record.While Scheffler was winning The Memorial, the Rockies were losing their eighth straight game. They are now 9-50 through the first two-plus months of the season. That puts them on pace to win just 25 games in 2025, which would shatter the record set by the White Sox.The Rockies do not have a single player with double-digit home runs yet. As a team, they are hitting just .215, which is by all metrics, atrocious. Their pitching is not much better.Their team ERA is 5.59, second worst in the majors. Only the Athletics are worse (5.71).While the Rockies embody the worst baseball has to offer, Scheffler is clearly the best golfer in the world.With Sunday's victory at The Memorial, Scheffler won his 16th career PGA Tour tournament. He has the fourth shortest span of time between winning his first and 16th event. Only legends Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods accomplished that faster.Scottie Scheffler has already won three majors, and will go for his fourth in a couple of weeks at Oakmont, site of the U.S. Open.The Rockies will undoubtedly win more games than Scheffler tournaments by the nature of the sport. But the fact that a golfer can win as many tournaments over a month as a baseball team speaks volumes, on both fronts.More Golf: The Memorial: Ben Griffin Honored with 6-Word Message from Scottie Scheffler
