AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Two majors made Xander Schauffele believe he was capable of winning them all. Two months out of golf with a rib injury is putting that belief to the test.
Schauffele is more than capable of winning the Masters. The proof comes from his birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the PGA Championship last May, followed by supreme control in tough conditions at Royal Troon to win the British Open last June.
