SUCH.
The most important trophies in golf are usually silver and green. Xander Schauffele he knows it well, because he has been close enough to them to dream of winning them. No one doubted his abilities or questioned why has hovered around the top 10 places in the world for almost three years. The only thing missing was that decisive triumph.
The gold medal hanging from his neck it changes everything.
“I needed to take that step”Schauffele said, and it was what he did Sunday under as much pressure as never before in his life. Tied for the top with two holes to play, he made a 6-foot birdie on the 17th and then parlayed the final hole to secure a one-shot victory. With that, advanced to fourth place in the world rankings.
It was his fifth victory, but the first time starting from the lead in the final round. And it ended a nearly 18-month drought, dating back to its first tournament of 2019.
He was second, behind Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters. Suffered from influenza and in the same way he reached a playoff months later against Rory McIlroy in Shanghai.
