Scheffler is pleased for his friend as he knows the pressure that comes with chasing a target
-
LOS ANGELES - Scottie Scheffler woke up on April 13 with a realistic chance to come from behind and win another US Masters. Once that was out of the picture, he had no issue taking a supporting role in Rory McIlroy's big day.
As the 2024 champion at Augusta National, the world No. 1 did the honors of helping McIlroy into his long-awaited Green Jacket in Butler Cabin.
"In that moment, it was such an emotional day for him, I kind of just tried to stay out of the way and basically get the jacket on without embarrassing him or myself," Scheffler said ahead of this week's RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
He described McIlroy as a "good friend" and the duo have combined to rule the PGA Tour in recent years. Scheffler remains the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, a perch that once belonged to McIlroy, who won four Majors between 2011 and 2014 before a nearly 11-year drought.
So the two have perspectives in common that few others can relate to.
