Scheffler’s Anti-Slice Drill Unveiled by Coach
Amidst Scottie Scheffler’s historic run, his coach Troy Merritt revealed a simple drill that aids in overcoming the dreaded slice. Merritt insists that the drill is the reason behind Scheffler’s newfound accuracy and distance.
The drill involves placing two alignment sticks parallel to each other, forming a narrow channel. Scheffler practices hitting balls through the channel, forcing him to focus on the ball’s path and ensuring a straight shot.
Merritt claims that this repetitive drill has significantly improved Scheffler’s swing, as it teaches him to keep the clubface square at impact and promotes a path that favors a straight trajectory. This drill is recommended not just for Scheffler, but for all golfers battling a slice.
Rory McIlroy, the four-time major winner, had a disappointing end to the 150th Open Championship, finishing tied for 18th. His final round of 74 saw him drop out of contention, finishing 13 shots behind the eventual winner, Cameron Smith.
McIlroy had been in contention throughout the tournament, but a poor start to his final round put him on the backfoot. He bogeyed the first and third holes, and never really recovered.
The 33-year-old admitted afterwards that he was “gutted” to have finished so poorly, but he vowed to come back stronger next year.
“I just didn’t play well enough today,” said McIlroy. “I made too many mistakes, and I never really got going.
“It’s disappointing to finish like this, but I’ll learn from it and come back stronger next year.”
