00:00but here to start our two major number two of this season in golf major championship victory
00:06number three for scotty scheffler half of the career grand slam now he had won two green jackets
00:13and now his first pga championship 11 under par for scotty scheffler for the tournament overall
00:19and even par 71 yesterday that started with a couple of bad numbers for scotty and because of
00:28john ron surge early in that back nine scotty scheffler entered and made the turn entering that
00:35back nine in a tie at nine under rom faded down the stretch in the green mile the very difficult
00:41three-hole closing stretch at quail hollow and scotty scheffler found his might once again 11
00:47under par winning the pga championship in 2025 drs by five shots one year in one day following his
00:56arrest at louisville at valhalla entering that second round he wins a pga championship for his
01:04third career major victory when they arrested him last year ben did they arrest him for no
01:09personality i'll be here all week but besides that i did enjoy the tournament itself that sunday was
01:15impressive too because it lined up as we're going to get a good sunday then it turned into oh no it's
01:20a route then in the blink of an eye it turned out to is john ron going to win this tournament over
01:24scotty scheffler because of all people scotty scheffler can't find his swing in the final round
01:29of a major championship but it wasn't meant to be an eventual six shot lead down the back stretch here
01:34scotty scheffler was the best scoffer all week long but by the way that guy of course is devious out
01:38there do you see the 18th hole like not only are you surrounded by grandstands but they run a creek
01:43down the left side of that fairway and the green all the way to it which everybody kept finding their
01:48way into that creek except for scotty scheffler that was some of the toughest finishing holes
01:53that you could possibly have and the one thing that i do enjoy about golf as opposed to like
01:57regular sports like let's just say hockey or you know the nfl or the nba where there's a clock where
02:01you can just run the clock out you can't do that in golf even if you're up six shots on the final hole
02:06like you still have to hit it down the middle play it up close to the green you dunk one in the drink
02:12that's a stroke penalty and then stroke and distance at that point and now you're in trouble so i do
02:16appreciate that but scotty wasn't going to falter with that big of a lead down the stretch and you
02:20played it exactly the way you're supposed to so what turned into an uneventful sunday turned very
02:25eventful for about a 30 to 40 minute swing there and then scotty scheffler said you know what i'm not
02:30going to make the mistakes everybody else is going to succumb to the pressure and i'm going to take
02:34home a major championship it's a great point drs because scotty scheffler was sensational in round
02:40number three on saturday eagle the drivable par 4 14 birdied 15 birdied 17 and 18 again in that dire
02:48green mile in the very difficult closing stretch at quail hollow to take that commanding lead entering
02:54sunday where it felt like here is scotty scheffler the world number one inevitable once again but then
03:00bogeyed his first hole on sunday a two over par 37 on his opening nine john rom went nuclear and we
03:08were tied at nine under as scotty scheffler made the turn only for rom to go five over in his final
03:15three holes a bogey on 16 doubles back to back on 17 and 18 in scotty scheffler to win the pga
03:23championship by five strokes all three of his major titles so far drs have come by at least three shots
03:31scotty scheffler dating back to the waste management in early march of 2022 has now won 15 times
03:37on the pga tour that win at the wm phoenix open was his first on tour he has won 15 times in total
03:47scotty scheffler with his 15 victories is as many in that span at world as world number two three four
03:55and five have combined for rory mcelroy's ander shoffley colin morikawa and justin thomas that is his
04:02dominance oh three players as scotty scheffler is 28 years old turning 29 next month in june three
04:09players in the history of men's golf have won 15 times including three majors prior to their 29th
04:16birthday jack nicholas tiger woods and now scotty scheffler yeah and no surprise that he's doing this
04:23did you see on the telecast yesterday they said in the dallas area he won 40 of 42 events that he
04:28played as a junior so he's used to winning not used to buckling to the pressure at that point and
04:33that's what you're going to need in major championships i can't imagine stepping up to
04:36the tee on the back nine of a major championship knowing like one bad shot i'm not going to win
04:41this thing the amount of pressure that you actually have to play with and this isn't just on a local
04:45municipal golf course like ah easy holes coming up those courses are set up to trap you in different
04:50scenarios and as you talk about that green mile those final three holes they are designed for you not
04:54to go out and win the tournament they're designed for you to go out and lose the tournament and he
04:58was able to get through those
