Scottie Scheffler gave his honest views on the personal jabs taken by Rory McIlroy on Bryson DeChambeau at The Open.
McIlroy fully expressed his views on DeChambeau with many pros not agreeing with the personal nature of the attack.
Ahead of this week’s 3M Open, the World No 1 weighed in.
“I’ve never been a big fan of personal jabs. I don’t think that rivalry is a big thing in golf just because, like I said, my biggest rivalry week in and week out is the golf course….” said Scheffler.
“I think golf’s different in a sense of a lot of other sports because my biggest rival week in and week out is the golf course that we’re playing. I mean, I could never stop somebody from doing anything in golf.”
“I felt like when I played basketball there would always be rivalries in basketball because you’re going to play defense against a person and that is much more personal in a sense like because I’m actively trying to stop — like if you and I were going to go out and play one-on-one, like it would turn into a rivalry because I’m actively trying to stop what you’re doing, but in golf, we’re always competing against ourselves on the golf course.”
