Scottie Scheffler<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnd the world number one may now have a big advantage over his rivals.<\/p>\n

As a result, it goes without saying that the three-time major champion may be low on energy this week.<\/p>\n
He spoke to reporters on Monday and responded when asked what his Monday-Wednesday plans consist of this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis being a third week in a row \u2014 it also changed because it used to be in August. We would come off World Golf Championships in Akron and go straight to the PGA. Akron was a very difficult golf course, but then it was typically very hot, so that changes your days,\u201c Spieth said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow it\u2019s a third in a row, which is also kind of unique. For me, it\u2019s not \u2014 it\u2019s more about what just happened the last couple weeks. If you have the week off, you kind of have a little more energy to get here early, get prepared, play more holes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the luxury of playing the last two weeks, and I didn\u2019t get up here prior to then, and I don\u2019t think that would have been necessarily super useful or I would have tried to do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now it\u2019s about getting to know the golf course, where the pin locations are going to be, what I was just talking about with that distance control, like what pins you attack, where are the ones you layoff of, stuff like that. What the deceiving shots are.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really more methodical now where it used to be hours and hours. It\u2019s not just an age thing. It\u2019s more just like recognizing that major weeks can feel really long, and you want to feel your best when you wake up Sunday morning. Part of it is energy conservation and figuring out how to attack the course. As far as the reps go, if you\u2019re not ready by now after the last couple weeks, you can\u2019t really cram for the test at a major.\u201c<\/p>\n

Those comments from Spieth prove that Scheffler made a very wise decision by skipping last week\u2019s event at Quail Hollow.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler is the red-hot favorite to win the PGA Championship<\/p>\n
Missing the Truist Championship must have been an incredibly difficult decision for Scheffler to make.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old world number one reigned supreme at the PGA Championship when it was held at Quail Hollow last year.<\/p>\n
However, he will now be reaping the rewards for skipping the Truist.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler should be fresh as a daisy this week at Aronimink, while the likes of Spieth, Cam Young, Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick all head into the event on the back of extremely challenging weeks.<\/p>\n

The 20-time PGA Tour winner has recorded runner-up finishes in his last three starts.<\/p>\n
Now there is a growing feeling that he will go one better this week at the PGA Championship, and secure the fifth major championship of his career in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan Spieth addressed the media at Aronimink on Monday ahead of the start of the PGA Championship later…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":638573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[275726,22221,427,25860,14192,5758,99,13035],"class_list":["post-638572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-aronimink","tag-career-grand-slam","tag-golf","tag-jordan-spieth","tag-pga-championship","tag-scottie-scheffler","tag-sports","tag-the-open-championship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
