RIDGELAND, S.C. – With his schedule finally slowing down, Scottie Scheffler should have been enjoying the spoils of his breakout year. He’s the world No. 1, the Masters champion and the author of the richest season in PGA Tour history – and yet while crashing at home the past few weeks he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment.
“I’m very competitive,” he said Wednesday, “and I was frustrated with how last season ended; I really wanted to win the FedExCup. So for me, it was kind of harder to check out this time of year.”
Scheffler coughed up a six-shot lead at the Tour Championship to hand the season-long title to Rory McIlroy.
