Scottie Scheffler opens up on playing ‘$10 course’ at Houston Open

Scottie Scheffler opened up on playing at the Houston Open venue. He will play at the Texas Children's Houston Open from March 27 to 30 at Memorial Park Golf Course. Before the PGA Tour started, he joined a press conference.

In the interview, Scheffler opened up on playing a PGA Tour event at the course, which is available to the public at $10. His words were:

“I think it's a lot of fun. I think when I was a kid if I could play a 2 golf course that the pros were playing on it would be pretty special. So to come here to a public course where anybody can come and play, it's a lot of fun. It's great to be here in Houston supporting this tournament, this event and definitely glad to be here.”

Scheffler further talked about how the current tournament would help him to prepare for the Masters in two weeks. He stated:

“I assume when you're practicing and playing at home those are always the courses that kind of pop up into your head. So when you're here with the Masters being only two weeks away, I think it's very easy for us to look ahead towards the Masters, but I'm trying to do my best to focus on this week. Like you said, playing on similar type of grass on the fairways and hitting similar shots.”

Scottie Scheffler's last tournament was THE PLAYERS Championship, where he finished at T20 with a score of 4 under 284.
