TULSA, Okla. – Scottie Scheffler left the Green Jacket he won in April hanging in his closet at home in Dallas this week. As New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick might say, Scheffler’s on to Southern Hills, a course where he won the Big 12 men’s individual title at Texas and once called it his favorite course.
Scheffler shot a 64 during a practice round at Southern Hills two weeks ago and shot 61 at his home course before shooting 19 under at the AT&T Byron Nelson. CBS Sports analyst Colt Knost said that Southern Hills reminds him a lot of Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas, where Scheffler grew up playing and still is a regular.
“Him saying it’s one of his favorite golf courses has to be terrifying for the rest of the field,” Knost said.
