The most exclusive golf club took 25 years to admit a new member after Rory Mcilroy completed the Grand Slam of his career by winning the masters.
Only five weeks later, that club could expand from six to seven, since Jordan Spieth offers to end its own important drought by winning the US PGA championship. Uu. In Quail Hollow.
It will be Spieth’s ninth attempt to complete the Grand race since he claimed the third section in the 2017 open championship in Royal Birkdale and the former world number one will hope to set up a realistic challenge for the first time.
Althegh The Record Books show that Spieth was third in Bethpage in 2019, the six shots finished behind the winner Brooks Koepka and was only so close thanks to five Bogeys in the last eight holes of his Ryder Cup teammate.
Three years have also passed since the last victory of Spieth in the PGA Tour in the RBC Heritage, but has registered four consecutive finals and closed with a 62 without Fogey in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, its lowest round for four.
Unfortunately for Spieth, and the rest of the US PGA field.
Scheffler, who lost the beginning of the season after surgery in an injury in his hand, suffered while picked up the previous day on Christmas day, led from beginning to end in TPC Craig Ranch and shot 31 under the pair for the victory of eight shots, his aggregate of 253 coincidences.
It was an impressive answer to lose its master’s degree against Mcilroy, with Scheffler, surpassing no less than 14 statistical categories in his first victory in his adoptive native state of Texas.
“Rory has been playing a tremendous golf this year,” said Scheffler. “The Grand Slam race was really special to see. It was soft to be there for it.
“I think that every time they are hitting you, you are always on a little more to go out and practice. I feel that my game is in a good direction. I am excited to start the rest of the season.”
As for Mcilroy, he returned to action after his triumph of teachers to bite his nails with the 12th place with Shane Lowry in the defense of his classic Zurich title and could hardly wish a better important place than Quolow.
Mcilroy won his first PGA Tour title there in 2010 with a closure of 62 and has lived three more victories in North Carolina, while Mcilroy played free of the burden of chasing the Grand Slam race is a perspective for his Schauffele rivals.
The world number two is not the only player with a print history in Quail Hollowver, Justin Thomas won the US PGA. In 2017 and publishes a 4-1-0 record in the Presidents 2022 Cup.
The only defeat of Thomas arrived in the singles and meant that his fellow and Fourballs fellow was the only player on each side to record a perfect 5-0-0 record.
Your name? Jordan Spieth.
