There isn’t a hotter player on the planet entering the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews than Xander Schauffele.
Unfortunately, Schauffele admits himself, there may not be a more rushed player either.
“To be honest, [I feel] a bit rushed,” Schauffele said Sunday evening after winning the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club.
The victory was Schauffele’s second straight on the PGA Tour as he also won the Travelers last month. In between the two official wins, he captured the two-day J.P. McManus Pro-Am in Ireland last Tuesday.
Yet, running on fumes and having never played the Old Course before, Schauffele is anxious as he gears up for another chance to win his first major championship.
