ST. ANDREWS (Scotland): In a field replete with household names, Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, is rather unassuming. To the point of going unnoticed at times. Yet, he is comfortable in the role of an undercard ahead of a heavyweight clash at the 150th Open at St. Andrews. He knows he is not the most-talked about man in a golf town, whose current visitors include Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and others.
Scheffler said, “I guess I am No. 1 in the rankings. (But) I’m not sure if I’m necessarily perceived that way by you all or whoever it is, but that’s not stuff that I really ever think about. I’m just trying to go out and play good golf.”
