Rickie Fowler has had to pull out of the WM Phoenix Open due to illness, much to the disappointment of fans who were eager to see him compete. His unexpected withdrawal now creates an exciting opportunity for other contenders to step up and seize the moment at this prestigious tournament
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler closed out the 2022 U.S. Open with a disappointing 72, leaving him tied for 20th place. After holding a five-shot lead heading into the final round, Scheffler couldn’t match his blistering form from earlier in the tournament. Speaking to reporters after his round, Scheffler admitted to feeling “a bit frustrated.” Despite the setback, Scheffler remains optimistic about his chances in upcoming events.
Scottie Scheffler’s surge has motivated his fellow Texan, Jordan Spieth, to bounce back. At the Masters, Spieth’s performance sparked optimism about his game’s progress. Inspired by Scheffler’s reign at the PGA Tour, Spieth is determined to rediscover his form. “I’m confident in my abilities with the ball and the putter,” he said. “I’ll just play my game.” Despite Scheffler’s comments dismissing Spieth’s chances, the latter remains undeterred. Scheffler stated, “Jordan is not what he once was.” Nonetheless, Spieth is convinced that his game can improve.
