Success at Albany came by half a dozen. Scheffler signed off in style, his approach to the 18th from 172 yards setting up a simple birdie. It really is not supposed to be this easy. A 63 ensured a 25-under par total and back-to-back Hero successes. Scheffler’s highest round of the week was 69. Among those to laud Scheffler was Tiger Woods, on hand as the tournament host. Scheffler’s current domination of golf is Woods-esque.
“I do my best to stay in the present. I am very grateful for the wins but when I go home, I am looking forward to doing things that don’t involve golf.” “I feel very, very close,” said Thomas. “I just need to sharpen some things up. I need to get the scoring clubs a little bit sharper and better. I feel like my mid-irons and iron game is close to where I want it, but if I can just get those wedges back where I feel like they should be, things will be good.”
