Oakmont Country Club will host the third Major this season, the US Open. The prestigious tournament was played on this golf course back in 2016, and the challenge of this course is the reason why there is so much interest in the tournament.
Before the start of the tournament, the stars of this sport shared their concerns and a dose of anxiety, aware that an extremely difficult task awaits them.
The defending champion, Bryson DeChambeau, answered some interesting questions about his career in a recent media interview.
The 31-year-old spoke about the names that motivate him, emphasizing the icons of this sport such as Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan and Greg Norman.
Bryson surprised many by mentioning Scottie Scheffler, currently world number 1, emphasizing that he would like to play at his level.
“I would say that the biggest influence career is Ben Hogan, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods,” he said, as quoted by The News & Observer.
“Tiger Woods pushed the boundaries on what we thought was possible with golf. As time goes on, Scottie Scheffler is an inspiration as well in terms of how well he’s playing. I want to play to that level and inspire to play to that level as well.”
His dominance in the future
Scottie Scheffler is such a dominant figure that his greatest rivals have immense respect for him, aspiring to be on his level. The 28-year-old’s dominance is reminiscent of Tiger Woods, but it will be necessary for Scottie to maintain his pace in the years ahead. If he is truly healthy, there is no doubt that Scheffler could break the records of his predecessors and write golf history in a special way.
He has a difficult road ahead, full of thorns and challenges, but looking at his performances on the golf courses as well as his calmness and focus, the impression remains that Scheffler is a golfer who few can stop.
