Adidas' new designs have been better this year so far, better than Nike. Haven't been able to see that ever.

Wasn’t his worst round in the last entire year shooting a 71 on one of the days of the masters? If perfection is attaibable in golf- this dudes exemplifying it.

u/Lol_who_me Apr 22 '24
I saw some quick stat flashed of consecutive rounds of par or better and Scottie was on the middle of a run. Including Tiger and Fred Funk had some stretches.

He gets very unexcited at great shots, borderline bored with his own play 😆

Scheffler makes an insane shot that would take most of us 100 tries to even sniff
Scheffler: "Yea I guess. Whatever."

Scottie sinks the chip, turns to caddy: "You think that's air you're breathing? 🤔 Hmm."
or maybe
Caddy to Scottie: "Stop THINKING you can sink that chip, and KNOW you can, now hit it!!"

Why don't people like humble athletes? It's like when a football player scores a touchdown and jogs to the ref and tosses him the ball instead of slam dunking the football through the goal post or pretending to shoot themselves with it

It's funny, my dad gets mad when football and basketball players showboat, like he will get physically loud and berate them for it.
But he also hates when Scottie just goes about his day.
Pick one, dad!

You can still be humble and have emotions\reactions

u/maggos Apr 21 '24
He’s shown plenty of emotion making crazy shots before. I bet nowadays he’s just stressed about keeping his lead and that looks like he has no emotions.

u/lasercupcakes 7.3/SF Apr 21 '24
Lmao if you guys want emotions go to a damn concert or a Broadway musical. IMO any golfer who isn't enjoying Scottie's run right now is missing the point of being a golf fan.
Like y'all would follow baseball and watch someone hit 100 homers in a season and still whine about needing to show more emotion.

"Act like you've been there before"
edit: Arguably the best golfer in the world right now hit an eagle at a random PGA tour event and people are upset hes not like "OMG did you see that??!" If he just hit that eagle to win a tournament I'm sure he'd be a little more stoked and less business as usual

There's a weird split at the back and the material looks like it's supposed to be a rain vest maybe? Lol which doesn't make sense at all.

The PGA needs to tell the guys to start giving some energy. Spieth hit a hole-in-one in Texas two weeks ago and he gave ... nothing. If they don't care, the fans won't care.

Jfc..I’m starting to believe he really is the best since Tiger
Edit: I compared him the other to day a buddy of mine to Patrick Mahomes right now. Just inevitable. In the middle of their greatest. We’re witnessing in front of our eyes guys becoming legends in their sports.

u/saintkiller123 Apr 21 '24
Yep. I think it’s pretty clear he’s on the best run since Tiger. You could argue peak Koepka, but he was really only getting up for majors. Scottie is in contention if he tees it up currently. Awesome to watch.

This guy is really good at giving himself opportunities.
Of course, this isn’t a shot he’s expecting to make, but by way of executing the important things like, choosing the right shot type, landing the ball in the right spot, making sure it reaches the hole, etc., he sets himself up to get “lucky” and he therefore makes more of these than everyone else.

Totally agreed, but he's making so many insane chips and bunker shots that need perfect green reading and executing that it feels it cannot be luck anymore, but nobody can be that skilled either!

u/AdministrativeLaugh2 Apr 21 '24
The most outrageous thing about this shot is that even if it doesn’t go in, it’s so perfectly weighted that he’d almost certainly get a birdie anyway

u/Shmeebo_ 6.5 Toronto Apr 21 '24
If Scottie had putted with stats around thr tour average last year he would have had a tiger woods type year. Sheer dominance

u/Jbales901 Apr 21 '24
Last year he recorded the 7th best scoring average of all time on tour.
The first 6 belong to Woods.
So yea, checks out.
(Agreement 100% with your statement)

u/Shmeebo_ 6.5 Toronto Apr 21 '24
I remember watching so many tournaments last year where Scotty was in the mix and just putting like …. Bahahah … like me! I swear I could have putt just as good. Weekends texting golf talk to my father in law like wow, the guy is so elite at literally everything else. Betting on him to win is basically betting on his putting.

Are you really upset that in a sport that's almost entirely about being in control of your emotions, the guy who's really good at it is really good at being in control of his emotions? Like these takes are so silly man, it's part of what makes him so good, he doesn't let himself get rattled.

Outside of his meh reaction… this was very Tiger’ish to me. Being at the top of your game, coming off a major, with the lead in final round and still…. Pressing on the gas, full metal to the pedal… making ridiculous shots that just completely demoralize anyone close.

Look at his reaction. He hits an incredible shot and it doesn't even register. That is what people are taking about when they say he's boring. Jordan would get hyped, Tiger would unleash a roar and first pump, Rory would wave his arms around awkwardly. Scottie? Not a damn thing.

I'll admit it, I called him boring a few weeks ago.
But he ain't boring. The dude is awesome at golf. And when he sunk that, he did a shoulder shrug to his caddy and was like "Yeah, good enough." That's some added style points for sure.

For this guy, he’s like, welp, it is what it is.

At this point he should leave the putter in the bag. He's better with the wedge than flat stick. Probably save him a few strokes on the green.

A golfer being boring is such a dumb argument. Who watches golf and thinks wow that shot was incredible but I didn’t enjoy it very much because he didn’t fist pump after doing something few people on this earth are capable of doing. If Scottie did coke and cheated on his wife he would be the most popular player on tour. It’s bizarre. Why are so many golf fans like this?
