BMW Championship at Caves Valley<\/a>. \u201cMike\u2019s a great guy. He works really hard. He does a good job and you know we\u2019re both learning a new golf course this week, so it\u2019s been fun.\u201d<\/p>\nIn fact, there are similarities to Scott.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c[Cromie will] ask some questions about things that basically he\u2019s just going to try and fill in as best he can this week, just asking the little stuff,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cA lot of it is just more routine, like, \u2018hey, how do you like me to give you the numbers?\u2019 And when I say I\u2019m hitting a hold shot, he’s like, \u2018well, what does that mean?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cJust little stuff like that that we\u2019re figuring out as the week goes on \u2026 It\u2019s like, \u2018hey, what’s your hydration? What do you like to eat?\u2019 Just a little stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
How did this partnership come about?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott is friends with Cromie. And though Payne filled in on Sunday, he\u2019s not a professional caddie, so the four-time major winner wanted someone with more experience as he aims to win back-to-back FedEx Cup titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think when you have a professional in the bag, it\u2019s a bit different,\u201d Scheffler said, \u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t trust Brad to do the numbers. It was just something that I think both of us probably thought it was a good idea to be double-checking each other and this week it\u2019ll be more kind of a normal routine for me in terms of preparation over the shot and stuff like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike doing the numbers myself is just a bit more work, doing that over a four-day event, I think, can take a toll on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Scott, Scheffler didn\u2019t reveal why he\u2019s not at the BMW Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTed\u2019s where he needs to be right now,\u201d Scheffler said, \u201cand I think caddying is probably the last thing on his mind as it should be. I\u2019ve been able to talk to him a few times. Family is in good spirits, everybody seems to be doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of the final round of last week\u2019s FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scottie Scheffler was thrown a curveball.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-68064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
