World No 1 Scheffler seeks PGA title
Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler enters next week's PGA Championship on a run major rivals are calling "dangerous" and "borderline Tigeresque" even as the 25-year-old American downplays his feats.
The year's second major tournament tees off Thursday at Southern Hills with Scheffler trying to become the first man to get halfway to a calendar-year Grand Slam since fellow Texan Jordan Spieth in 2015.
"It's nice to be on a good run," said Scheffler. "I really just try to stay in the moment. Goals, expectations, nothing like that changes for me. I just like being out here playing golf."
Scheffler began an astonishing two-month run by winning his first US PGA title in February at the Phoenix Open, then captured his second in March at Bay Hill in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
