Min Woo Lee eyes Open run after Scottish near miss<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIt definitely interests me. I\u2019d like to see \u200chow it shapes out the next couple of years. There\u2019s a lot of places I think I\u2019d like to play,\u201d Scheffler said, addressing reporters at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A new system is being introduced from next season in which PGA Tour players \u200cwill have more time during the autumn to take their pick of competing in overseas events.<\/p>\n
Scheffler, who turned 30 last month, admits he\u2019s at the point in his life when he wants to find the best balance between family time and playing international golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m at a time in my life where I have a young family at home and young kids,\u201d said the four-time major winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are times \u2013 the fall is a special time for our family. It\u2019s where we can really check \u200cout and be \u200ctogether and I get \u2060to spend a lot of time with my kids. So I hold those moments \u200bpretty sacred.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at the same time, I love golf and I would love to be able to play more internationally. Like Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew Zealand is a place we would love to be able to go to. My wife has always wanted to go to New Zealand.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love this style (links golf in Britain) of golf and I feel like it\u2019s pretty unique \u2060to here \u2026 but going to play the sandbelt in Australia would \u200cbe pretty special as \u200bwell. Hopefully, I can find the time. It\u2019s definitely an intriguing part of the schedule and, yeah, it definitely interests me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Big international names have been increasingly attracted to the country\u2019s marquee summer events, with Rory McIlroy, who played at the Australian Open at Royal Melbourne last December, having suggested the event \u201cshould almost be the fifth major\u201d.<\/p>\n
In Scotland, \u200cScheffler is getting into gear before defending his British Open title this week at Royal Birkdale.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s seeking his \u200bfirst win since The American Express in January, although he\u2019s had four other runner-up finishes, including at the Masters in April and \u200bhis play-off loss at the Travelers Championship \u2060in his most recent outing last month.<\/p>\n
Last year, he finished tied for eighth in the Scottish Open with four rounds in the 60s.<\/p>\n
