Empathetic Schauffele: ‘Tough spot’ for McIlroy
Xander Schauffele empathized with Rory McIlroy’s predicament after the latter missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open.
“It’s a tough spot to be in,” said Schauffele, who was paired with McIlroy during the first two rounds. “I feel for him. He’s obviously been playing great golf.”
Schauffele understands the pressure that comes with being a top player, and he knows that even the best players in the world can go through tough stretches.
“It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’re going to have some ups and downs,” said Schauffele.
