Charles Schwab Challenge: What has been said?
Scheffler will be in celebratory mood back in Texas after claiming his ‘hardest ever’ tournament win at the PGA Championship.
Following victory at Quail Hollow, he said: “To step up when I needed to the most, this back nine will be one that I remember for a long time.
“I felt like this was as hard as I battled for a tournament in my career. It was a pretty challenging week.
“The first two days I did not swing it my best and I was able to post a score somehow. The last five holes yesterday [Saturday], that’s where I really kind of put myself ahead in the tournament.
“I knew somebody was going to make a move on Sunday.
“There’s too much talent in the game of golf for me to slap the ball around today with a three-shot lead – three shots in 18 holes is really not that much.
“With this closing stretch, you can never be complacent with your game. I had seen that Jon Rahm and I were tied when I was playing the 10th maybe.
“I did my best to keep executing shots and stay in my little bubble.
“I just prepared for Jon to go out and have a great back nine as well.
“He’s a great player and a great champion, and he does a really good job of stepping up in the big moments.
“I didn’t really relax until I got the ball over the water on 17. I felt like after that, I could kind of limp on 18 with the lead that I had.”
