Scottie Scheffler

TPC River Highlands

Quick Quotes

Q. Scottie, what was working so well for you today?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I just kept the golf course in front of me. That's pretty much it. I didn't drive it as well as I would've hoped to today, but outside of that I didn't put myself in any really horrible spots. There are some bad spots you can put yourself in here in the bunkering.

Hit the important tee shots well and just kept the course in front of me.

Q. What did you do the last few days kind of to recharge batteries a little after the U.S. Open?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: We traveled all day Monday and then I played nine holes Tuesday and that's pretty much it. Didn't practice at all.

Yesterday I practiced a little bit after the round but just chipping and putting, so I didn't do much.

Q. Feel pretty good today going out there? 7-under par shows it.

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I felt good out there. Like I said, I didn't drive it great but it's not U.S. Open rough out there, so you can kind of manage your way around the golf course as long as you avoid the bunkers.

Q. When you saw some of the low scores this morning, did you feel like the course was there for the taking when you went out this afternoon?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I was hoping it would be for myself. I don't really think much about that kind of stuff. I just go out there and try and execute good shots. Usually if i play solid golf I am able to post a pretty good score, and so I try not to go out with a number in my head or too many thoughts.

Q. If you play solid golf, you shoot a winning score. Kyle Porter tweeted the scores that you've had this year. You shot over 70 11 times. What goes into that kind of consistency?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I try to be consistent. I think that's something we always strive for as players. This year I put up a lot of good scores and it's been fun. Just hoping to improve a little bit at a time.

I think most of it is showing up with the right attitude and my body has felt great all year. Swing has felt nice. When you're hitting it pretty good it's definitely easier to shoot those scores than when you're scrambling around all over the place.
