Despite consecutive rounds marred by mistakes, Tom Kizzire strengthened his lead at the Charles Schwab Challenge on Saturday, carding a one-under 70 at the Colonial Country Club. Despite finding the water four times throughout his round, driving inaccuracies, and putting woes, Kizzire leads the field by three strokes.
He ended the day on 12-under 200 and sits three ahead of Troy Merritt who shot a 69. World Number One Scottie Scheffler remains in contention following a 66 that placed him four off the pace. However, winds gusting up to 40 mph are expected on Sunday which will test the field’s mettle.
In a compelling turn of events at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open, victor Robert MacIntyre showcased an impressive array of clubs that propelled him to victory. MacIntyre’s winning bag featured meticulously selected clubs, each contributing to his remarkable performance. Notably, his driver played a pivotal role in his long and accurate tee shots, while his irons provided pinpoint precision on approach shots. MacIntyre’s putter proved to be equally reliable, enabling him to sink crucial putts throughout the tournament. A comprehensive analysis of his equipment choices offers insights into the factors that contributed to his triumph.
Scottie Scheffler’s stinger shot is a powerful and accurate low-trajectory shot that he often uses to hit the ball under the wind. In this article, we’ll break down Scheffler’s stinger shot into three simple steps:
1. Hinge your wrists early, to close the clubface and generate spin.
2. Take the club back slightly inside, to shallow the swing plane and promote a lower ball flight.
3. Strike the ball on the upswing, to create backspin and keep the ball low.
Follow these three steps and you’ll be able to start hitting stinger shots like Scheffler.
Inspired by Scottie Scheffler’s recent run of success, fellow Texan Jordan Spieth is hitting the “reset button” at the PGA Championship.
“I’ve been working hard on my game, and I’m starting to see some results,” Spieth said. “I’m excited to see what I can do at the PGA.”
Spieth, a three-time major champion, has struggled for consistency in recent years. However, he believes that he is on the right track after a solid performance at the Masters.
“I’m feeling good about my game,” Spieth said. “I’m hitting the ball well, and I’m putting well. I’m just going to go out there and play my game.”
Scottie Scheffler continued his remarkable streak of dominance with a wire-to-wire victory at the RBC Heritage on Sunday. The world No. 1 extended his lead atop the rankings with his fourth PGA Tour triumph of the season. Scheffler’s total of 10-under-par 270 showcased his consistent play throughout the four rounds. Despite facing a talented field, Scheffler’s controlled approach and impressive putting skills proved too formidable for his rivals. His victory solidifies his position as the form player of 2023.
