Scottie Scheffler Takes Stance On How His Swing Looks: 'It's Effective'
@Source: newsweek.com
Scottie Scheffler is arguably the best ball striker in the world, which remains a mystery to many due to the characteristics of his swing. As is well known, the world No. 1 typically ends his swing with a spectacular footwork that has been dubbed the "Scheffler shuffle."However, the 18-time PGA Tour winner recently showed he has no problem with that."I may not have the prettiest swing, but I think it's effective," he said during a recent Golf Central interview."Effective" is certainly one way to put it.With only the TOUR Championship remaining in the PGA Tour season, Scheffler leads the tour in strokes gained tee-to-green, off-the-tee, and approaching the green. He also ranks 18th in around-the-green play. It's no surprise that he leads in total strokes gained (2.8) and scoring average (68.11 strokes per round).In the same interview with Golf Central, the Ridgewood, N.J., native delved into some of the elements that have led him to such success, beyond the effectiveness of his swing."I think I have a routine to get ready for tournaments and I'm not the longest guy out here, but I think I have enough length ... ." he said. "When I look back to, I was a good junior player, I was a good amateur player and golf is such a ... it's such a funny game. It's really hard to predict people that have success."And I've put in a lot of work over the years and been surrounded with a great team of people and, you know, starting with Randy (Smith, his lifelong coach) and Randy's kind of put the whole team in place. And, you know, I'm just very thankful to have those people in my life and we love what we do and we have a lot of fun doing it. And yeah, that's pretty much it."All these elements, and others like his undeniable talent, have made him the absolute superstar of men's professional golf today. For just one example, Scheffler finished in the top seven in all four majors this season, winning two.If we extend the analysis of his major performance to the previous season, the results are still astounding. In eight appearances, he has the same number of cuts made, seven top-10 finishes, and three wins.In short, the popular golf saying "swing your swing" may not apply to all players, but in Scheffler's case, it certainly does.More Golf: Harris English sounds off on Ryder Cup spot: 'I belong
