Speaking to reporters on the heels of his triumphant afternoon, Scheffler heaped praise on Scott while acknowledging the immense impact he has on his game during tournaments. \u201cI feel like Ted for me on the course is a lot more than just a caddie, someone giving me numbers,\u201d the world No. 1 explained.<\/p>\n

Faced with an unfavorable lie and no realistic shot at the pin, he ultimately made bogey.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s tough kind of choosing your spots,\u201d Scheffler admitted. \u201cThat was a pin on 7 that was tucked pretty far on the back left, but I had a good number. I felt like I hit a pretty good shot. <\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler described Ted Scott as a ‘tremendous asset’ both on and off the golf course -Credit:Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cIt was maybe a touch left of my line. The wind was supposed to be off the left, but it went straight down and maybe off the right.<\/p>\n \u201cThe bunker shot, if you’re on the flat, it’s not too bad of a spot. But goes into the other side where you have virtually no chance, I mean, it’s just pretty frustrating.
