Scheffer last registered the five-time victory in the PGA Championship – and followed with other impressive success in the Memorial Tournament, with the world no. 1 who are now looking for a fourth win in the last five wins.
The 28-year-old leads all players in Major since 2022. years in several statistics, including scoring and conspicuous batteries, with Scheffler who produces consistency in recent seasons not seen from Tiger Woods.
He finished just outside the first 10 in four of the last 17 major, including two top open beginnings, leaving Scheffer as a major betting in Major with American bookmakers on the PGA Championship PGA 2009. years.
“I don’t pay attention to my favorite things or something,” Scheffler said in his conference for overprinting the tournament. “Starting Thursday morning, even a couple and I’m on me to go out there and I play against the golf course and see what I can do.”
Scheffler was a top ranking since May 2023 and on the way to finish the FedExcup regular order for the fourth year, while we would open a victory to complete the Grand Slam career in the open next month.
Who is the best thoroughly cause Cheffler’s offer for main success back? We look at some of his main candidates …
Rory Mcilroi
North Irishman opened six consecutive first nine-nine and went to Windham Clark last year, and he passed Windham Clark in 2023. years and Brison Dechambeau, and he also claimed that in 2011. years in 2011. Years.
Mcilroy leads in the birdies or better in the US openings since 2018. years – on average 3.85 circle – and the tops of the last five years have received, and the world does not recognize that the “many more confident are” much more confident “.
He waited his own fifth main title and finished the Grand Slam Dramatic Victory of Playoffs across Justin Rose on Masters, while winning the Level of Sir Nick Faldo, with Nick Faldo All weather major.
Mcilroi said that he must “consist” his belongings “after not abolished at the PGA Championship and the cut on the US Open, where he moved from the TEE, but returning to the well-known driver’s model this week could appear returning to form.
Xander Schauffele
Last year’s PGA Championship and Open winner has the best cumulative result in Major since the beginning of last year, at the moment at 38 below and two strokes better than Scheffer.
Schauffele ended no worse than 14. In his previous eight open performances, only Jack Niclaus (12 years) and SM Snead (nine years) by offering several consecutive top 15s in an event from World War II.
World no. 3 There are no top five finishing in the last six main starts, gaining moves on the field in all eight of their rounds in Major, has the best average points in American history open to players with 20 or more rounds in career.
Schauffele remains greatly from 65 consecutive incisions, which extend to Masters in 2022. years. There would be no surprise to see him a challenge for the third leg career Grand Slam.
Brison Dechambeau
Dehambeau has submitted the level of consistency of Scheffer-Eskue in Mažora, with five top-six finishes – including last year’s victory and a two-day masters in Mlcilroy, where he finished fifth – in the last six main beginnings.
This year, the American claimed in both Mairorists – also finished a runner on the PGA Championship at the second consecutive season – and now it seems to join Brooks Koepki as the only players of this century to defend the American Open title.
He won the Live Goof League event in Korea and has a maximum of five endings in each of his last four performances on the Saudi connecting circuit, and Decanambeau recently realized the “version of three” 3D iron to improve his inconsistent approach.
Dehambeau was dominated by a driver in his open success and last year’s victory, he ended in the upper fours for moves that gained from TEE in both weeks – with distance likely to be a big advantage this week.
Collin Morikava
Morikava has seven top ends in the mist of beginning of 2020. Year, winning the PGA Championship and year and open next season, from Morikava, can also be bragged with the excellent US records.
World no. 4 remains without victory this season despite the run in the guard and Arnold Palmer Invitacial, although he said before the alteration to “have a game to win” around Oakmont.
Morikava has four for 15 years in open US, despite this historical establishment of slow start, publishing combined 10 in the opening of rounds in that period compared to six under the final three rounds. A good start in Oakmont would set up the morix in a mix firmly.
Who else could I impress?
Jon Rahm They produced the final collection during the last month of the PGA Championship before the end of the Vedrina, while the Spaniard ended inside the top 10 in all 21 years, and on the Livian Golf League since he leaves the PGA Tour before the last season.
One player who surpassed both Rahm and Dehambeau on that circle is Joakuin NiemannThe entry into the United States opened through the USGA concerted exception of Liv Golfs League, with a last week’s victory in Virginia, his fourth season.
Justin Thomas Won RBC heritage to end for three years without winning the PGA tour, but did not end in the top 10 in the last four major, while Shane Lovry She held a four-way lead after 54 holes in Oakmont in 2016 years before he finished in Vedin’s in seconds behind Dun’s Johnson.
Lovry passed the main outdoor champion and turned several times on PGA tour, finishing race to McLiroi at AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and closely disappeared Sepp Strike At Triiliist Championship.
There is a two-way winner to PGA tour 2025. years and among them looking for a girls main title, with Rider Cup Team-Mate Tommy Fleetwood A former open runner that has three top 10s in the last five worldwide. Will the flevody guy put your first PGA tour name of the main victory?
