A golfer has to feel comfortable to be able to concentrate on his game. So, along with his golf kit, what he is wearing becomes important as well. Although it is nothing, the touch of star golfers might have created the magic for the pro golfer, which led him to win the title. The young golfer might have used the opportunity to pay a small tribute to his favorite golfers.
The presence of Ted Scott as his caddie was another thing that helped Scheffler win. Scott was the caddie of Bubba Watson when he won 12 championships on the PGA. The 25-year-old credits his caddie to keep him calm when he feels pressure. He said, “He (Scott) does a good job keeping me level-headed and making jokes and having fun.”
