BROOKLINE, Mass. — It was, as Scottie Scheffler put it, a “really cool year of golf” for him.
No, he wasn’t talking about this current year, in which he’s bloomed from a rising to a bona fide star. He was talking about 2013, when he was still a student at Highland Park High School in University Park, Texas, lighting up the youth golf scene. That year saw him win the U.S. Junior Amateur in California, a UIL individual state title in Texas and advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.
“I have good memories of this place,” the 25-year-old Dallas native mused on Tuesday at his U.S. Open pre-tournament press conference.
