When Scotty Schaeffler shot a 67 in the second round of the 2022 Masters to take a 5-stroke lead, there was a passage that spread widely among golfers: a fan with poor vision saw the leader catch a total of 7 birds in a single round on the live screen, and habitually thought that this was the achievement of the king of the ball, Tiger Woods. It wasn't until he put on his glasses that he realized he was looking at it wrong.
This is THE NEWTREE World Number One Schaeffler, who turned the Masters into an individual coronation.
The new king, the rapid rise of Chevreux
If Santa Tells Schaeffler at the end of 2021, he will have a lot to gain in the Year of the Tiger. He was half-convinced.
At that time, Schaeffler, who still had the titles of the best newcomer of the 2019 PGA TOUR and the 2021 Ryder Cup TEAM USA player, had not yet won the PGA Tour. He certainly did not expect that in just over 3 months, he would become a figure that golf fans could not avoid.
When Schaeffler came to Augusta for the third time, he not only won the first PGA Tour title at the Phoenix Open, but also won the World Hole And Palmer Invitationals in one fell swoop. The rise was so fast that when Schaeffler became world number one, there was no Grand Slam title in hand, and people once put him in the category of Lee Westwood and Luke Donald.
Obviously, the Masters became a touchstone for people to test their color: is it really hard stubble or luck to sit on the top spot? Can Schaeffler be able to "push forward"?
Augusta is the best stage to test the quality of the golf masters
There have been masters who divide the successful into three categories – passive, controller and ruler.
The tall man describes the differences between them like this:
The passive can play a good game,
The controller can play a convincing season,
Rulers are able to have an unparalleled career;
The passive will ignite everyone's emotions before the game,
The controller will ignite his emotions first,
The ruler has no emotion and remains calm until the end of the game.
The passive comes first and goes the latest at the feast,
The controller shows his face at the celebration feast and then leaves with his team.
The ruler trains alone in the arena.
There is no doubt that the Golf Temple Augusta is the best stage to do this test.
It always inspires the players to compete. Dark horses are not extinct, but the probability of dark horses appearing at the Masters is much smaller than in the other three Grand Slam games, and the leading list is always the familiar names.
Tiger Woods, who has returned from injury, will have a hard time replicating the myth he created in 2022, but are Schaeffler, McIlroy, Cameron Smith, Colin Morikawa, Ren Chengzai, and Dustin Johnson the hottest stars in recent years?
"Stubble pushes forward", Schaeffler green jacket added
For the participating "masters", the test is not only Augusta's exquisite fairway layout and incredibly fast and complex greens – Luo Xiangyu's five pushes on the 16th hole of the mobile day are already telling, and the other challenge is the crowd of fans.
This week of the 2022 Masters, more than 1,500 private jets are rumored to have landed at airports near Augusta, and they are all fairly knowledgeable fans, not just to see the hilarity. Harris Inglich, a four-time PGA Tour winner who couldn't play due to injury, even came to the event, he didn't win the green jacket, and the championship dinner didn't leave him a place, but it was Tiger Woods' first professional event since the 2021 crash, and fans were rushing into Augusta like a secret signal. Inglitch also appeared in the large army following Woods with a beer cup.
This is a real golf feast, the body is not hard enough, and it is normal to go home after two rounds.
Was Schaeffler stage frighten?
Not really!
To be the first in the world, Schaeffler first eliminated the category of "passive". The question before him is: Is he the "controller" or the "ruler"?
Tiger Woods is the "ruler". From the month before the Masters to Wednesday, whether he will compete has been the hottest topic of conversation, more worrisome than who will eventually become this year's Green Jacket winner.
Some people joke that Woods is winning hemp! There are also people who think that Woods is an appetite, and at one time he even held up too much hype.
However, when Woods actually competed, people immediately understood him. For Woods, it may be easier to swing and put between poles than to walk. What's more, in such a difficult competition, even Jordan Spieth, Koepka, De Chambord and other winning favorites returned home after two rounds, but Woods advanced 22 times in a row.
What kind of spirit is this? Only the king of the arena has the demeanor!
With Woods' appearance, Schaeffler is a model. After two rounds, there are already experts swinging historical data: the 5-shot leader has a total of 5 times, and only one person has lost. After three rounds, Schaeffler's lead was shortened to a stroke 3. There are experts who share historical experience again: comrades, the feeling of leading is very uncomfortable Wow, we are used to chasing in the back, so much ahead, Saturday night can not sleep!
Those who can't sleep are those who are not determined.
Did Woods panic when he was so much ahead? When Spieth brushed the record all the way in 2015, wasn't he calm? No! They all won.
Once Schaeffler's good fortune came, no one could stop him.
Indeed, on the closing hole, cameron Smith, a player in the same group, politely left the chance to win to Schaeffler. When everyone thought Schaeffler would finish the game with a push, Schaeffler, with a huge 5-stroke lead, shook his hand at that moment, and he shot the second on the green of the par four hole, but the putter never made it into the hole, including missing the 2-foot bogey putter.
By this time, even if you swallow the three bogeys, the victory still belongs to Schaeffler. Anyway, this time he did not brush the Lowest Stroke Record of the Masters, and the victory was the most important.
More symbolically, Schaeffler soared all the way to the championship when Woods returned to the arena. This is our long-awaited torch.
Schaeffler now has a bunch of titles: Masters Champion + World No. 1 + PGA Tour Quadruple Champion. If he can win 8 games in a season like Woods this year, then Schaeffler can advance from "controller" to "ruler" and build his own high-ball dynasty.
