Rory McIlroy described Scheffler as \u2018inevitable\u2019 after his third round at The Open<\/a>, and that really is a great description of the world number one.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old just doesn\u2019t make any mistakes, and the fact that he kept a clean card on Saturday ensured that his rivals were not given any hope that he would falter.<\/p>\n Earlier in the week, the man from Dallas, Texas, caused quite the stir with his comments on winning tournaments.<\/p>\n Scheffler suggested ahead of The Open that he doesn\u2019t get overly motivated<\/a> about the thought of winning.<\/p>\n He said it\u2019s more important to him to be a good father and husband than it is to be a good golfer.<\/p>\n And with that in mind it was interesting to hear his response when asked what winning The Open would mean to him.<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler says what it would mean for him to win The Open Championship<\/p>\n Scheffler clearly has other priorities in life, but that doesn\u2019t mean that he doesn\u2019t work as hard as every other top player on his game, if not harder.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old has a very clear vision of how he wants his life to be. Being a golfer isn\u2019t who he is, it\u2019s what he does for a living, and his success on the golf course certainly doesn\u2019t define him as a man off it.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2226019853-1024x683.jpg\")
