Brown Learns Valuable Lessons from Playing with World Number One Scheffler
Blades Brown, an 18-year-old golfer, had the opportunity to play alongside Scottie Scheffler in the final round of the American Express in January. Scheffler won the tournament by four strokes after a final-round score of 66.
Brown finished the tournament with a score of 74, tied for 18th place. Despite not being able to match Scheffler's performance, Brown was impressed by his opponent's skills and behavior during the game.
'I learned that Scottie is really good at golf,' Brown said. 'He knows what he's doing.' One aspect of Scheffler's game that stood out to Brown was his ability with scoring clubs, particularly his wedges and putter.
According to Brown, Scheffler's control over his wedge distances was impressive, often hitting the ball to a foot or less from the hole. Brown also praised Scheffler for being respectful and gracious during their time playing together.
