June 21, 2025; Cromwell, Connecticut, USA; Scooty Sheffer played a shot from a bunker on the first hole during the third round of the Travellers Championship Golf Tournament. Compulsory Credit: Bill Stretcher-Emagan Picture World No. 1 Scotty Sheffer has not been intimidated by playing link golf this week at the Open Championship in Royal Portrash, Northern Ireland.
He does not care that he is a favorite and will not pay attention to it if he does not go away with his fourth major championship this week. Or if it is to lift Claret Jug on Sunday afternoon.
What really means to him, who really fulfills him, told reporters on Tuesday that he was doing the right thing for his family.
“Every day when I get up early to go to work, my wife thanked me for going out and working so hard. When I go home, I try and thank him every day for my son’s care.” “That’s why I talk about my priority about the family because it is really. I am blessed to come out from here and be able to play golf, but if my golf has ever started impressing my domestic life or has ever impressed the relationship with my wife or my son, it is going to be the last day that I play to stay here.
“This is not all, finish everyone. It’s not the most important thing of my life. That’s why I wrestle, why it is so important for me? Because I will be a great golfer instead of being a great father. At the end of the day, it is more important to me.”
Chefler has 16 PGA tour win, including three in this season. He won the PGA Championship in Qail Holll in May to go with his two Masters Championships. And he appreciates those victories, but still struggles with finding permanent satisfaction in all of this.
“This is something that I wrestle on a daily basis,” said Sheffer. “This is like showing it in a masters every year; it is such that why I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the open championship so badly? I do not know because, if I win, it is going to be amazing for two minutes.”
Nevertheless, this week the 29 -year -old Sheffo at The Open is a competitive fire stirring, which begins on Thursday. He practiced in the Royal Portrash on Monday and went with an assessment that many contestants – especially his fellow Americans – probably did not share the link for the link.
“Golf course is good. It is really in good shape,” he said. “Looks like a fun place to play.”
While other people are worrying about the trajectory and putting spin on the ball, Sheffeler links are less scientist in their perspectives for the link course.
“I just try to take a picture of what kind of shot I want to hit and match the club. There is not much idea for me; it is right for me that it’s right that I am right and ensure that it is not far away with my caddy ted (Scott), and then we try and try,” they said.
Scheffler has limited experience on link courses, but it does not feel much.
“I think it fits on my strength because I like to do things very creatively, and I think here you think you have to do,” he said. “I think every year we come, I start learning a little more.”
He continued: “There are many different shots that you have to play. It’s an interesting golf course, and what I have seen is really fun to play and very fair.”
And at this stage of your career, fun and family chefler are everything. Even if the fun of winning is not with him for a very long time.
“If I come in second place this week or if I finally finish dead, it does not matter whether we are always in the next week. It is one of the beautiful things about golf, and it is also one of the disappointing things because you may have such great achievements, but the show moves forward. It’s just how it is,” he said.
“This tournament is very good to win. It is very fun. Sometimes the feeling lasts only two minutes, it seems when you are celebrating, and then it is liked, well, now you have got to do all the other items, which is very good, but sometimes the feeling of winning a few seconds. It is very thrilling and fun, but not yet.”
