Scheffler ‘living dreams’ but ‘more to life than golf’

After winning the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Scottie Scheffler states that he is “living out his dreams,” but that there is “more to life than golf.”

On the final day of Northern Ireland, the American anesthetized his rivals with a masterful display of front-running to keep his overnight four-shot lead.

The 29-year-old world number one needs just the US Open to become one of seven men competing in a career Grand Slam, having already won four majors in three years and an Olympic gold medal.

According to Scheffler, living a fulfilling life is “not something I struggle with every day” and that the zealous pursuit of success is “not a fulfilling life.”

He acknowledged that he might not have made his point as effectively as he had hoped in his opening remarks, but he continued to support his opinions.

In a world where clickbait is what customers search for, Scheffler said. It “understates” what I was trying to say, in my opinion.

I’ve spent my entire life trying to improve and make a living playing this game. The winning of the Open is a feeling that is difficult to describe, and it is one of my greatest joys.

“For it, I’m thankful,” I ask? Is it enjoyable to me? Oh my goodness, this sounds cool. However, success in life does not necessarily mean you can fulfill your most sincere desires.

Scheffler stated that he intends to “celebrate with the people who have helped me along the way” and that he plans to leave for Texas later on Sunday.

The crowds gave their throaty approval after he tapped in on the 18th about an hour earlier, and he immediately sought out wife Meredith.

Belatedly spotting Bennett, her 14-month-old son, and her toddling on the green, Scheffler’s typically muted response faded.

He hurled his hat into the sky, roared with joy, and hurled his arms outward toward them.

Before Scheffler returned his hat, the trio embraced, and Bennett, who was hunched in his left arm’s crook, was waiting for him.

Scheffler, who earlier in the week vowed to stop playing golf if it started to have an impact on his family, said, “When I saw my family, that was a pretty special feeling.
