Highland Gold Maple making syrup from Cape Breton woods for 25 years | SaltWire #capebreton #mapleAUGUSTA, Georgia - Scottie Scheffler says golf is just something he does but will not define him even though the world number one is doing it better than anyone else.
Unassuming and thoughtful, Scheffler is more than the sum of pars, birdies and bogeys on his scorecard but coming into this week's Masters he has been the definition of golfing excellence.With back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer and Players Championship and a runner-up finish at the Houston Open, Scheffler is hot favourite to slip into the Green Jacket on Sunday, which would add to his reputation as a golfing machine.
"Golf's something that I do," said the 27-year-old at his pre-Masters press conference on Tuesday."It's a tremendously huge part of my life but it doesn't define me as a person."I happen to be good at it some weeks and I come in here and you guys ask all nice questions then the next week I'm bad at it and then some of the questions are viewed more negatively.
While the 2022 Masters champion says he was never pushed into the sport, he cannot remember a time when he did not want to be a golfer."My dad never really looked at me as a golfer," said Scheffler."He never pushed me to become a good golfer, that was never what he wanted for me."The way I was raised, golf wasn't really a huge deal in my house. It was just something that I always loved to do.
"I would like to think I have some other skills," said Scheffler."But hopefully I don't have to discover them for quite some time.
