I didn’t really know what that feeling was like. I’d never experienced that much pressure on the golf course. But, you know it’s really cool when you’re in that environment and you know what it feels like to be under the most pressure in golf and you know when you go home and practice and prepare, you’re preparing for those moments.”Here’s a look at his reflection on the scenes at the challenging Whistling Straits (via X @RyderCupUSA):Scottie Scheffler will be serving Team USA as their star player for the third time late this September.
