World No.1 Scheffler admits he is unfulfilled by his success

- BY NEIL MCLEMAN

SCOTTIE Scheffler has opened up on the meaning of life and golf and admitted he asks himself: “What is the point?”

And the best player in the world revealed even twice winning the Masters was “an unsatisfying venture” and he would quit if his job started affecting his family life.

The American, the Open favourite here this week, is the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007 to achieve 100 consecutive weeks as world No.1 — and he claimed his third Major with his five-shot win at the US PGA.

And Scheffler will bid to complete the third leg of a career Grand Slam here after notching 11 consecutive top-eight finishes at last week's Scottish Open.

The relentless winner of 16 PGA Tour events is not also renowned for his philosophical insights or captivating press conferences. Getting arrested at the US PGA last year was outrageously out of character.
