“He’s got every shot”: Jordan Spieth on the Scottie Scheffler magic

Former No. 1 Jordan Spieth pulled out heaps of praise for current No. 1 in the OWGR, Scottie Scheffler.

After the 26-year-old Scheffler won The Players Championship 2023, Spieth appreciated him by saying,

"He's got every shot and then at this point, once he won last year and obviously won the Masters, I feel like... when you're presented with those shots, if you don't feel like you have house money, you play them a certain way, but if you feel like it doesn't matter, you're going to play the shot that could go closest even if it means disaster could happen."

On March 12, 2023, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Scottie Scheffler of the United States celebrates with the trophy after winning during the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

Jordan Spieth highlighted that Scheffler may have been playing in his once-in-a-lifetime form. He added that Scottie Scheffler was obviously unaware and found himself in a difficult situation to concede that his strategy had changed.
