20-year-old PGA Tour rookie shares the takeaways he received from Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka - “They kept telling me I'm young”
PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka have made a name for themselves on the professional golf circuit. Over the course of their respective careers, Scheffler and Koepka have won several competitions and are in a great place to give advice to young professional golfers looking to make a mark.
Recently, Florida State's Luke Clanton spoke about advice he received from both Scheffler and Koepka. Ahead of the PGA Tour's 2024 John Deere Classic, Clanton shared during the press conference that players like Scheffler and Koepka keep telling him he is young.
Luke Clanton said:
"I've definitely played with some good players for sure. Played with Scottie in the practice round and Brooks as well. And all those guys are unreal with what they do. Again... I think just what how they do their practices and the process of everything is something that I'm learning, again. I'm still trying to learn how to travel to these events and stuff." [5:53]
He further added:
"It's still new to me, so it's just awesome being here, learning from them. Learning how to stay in that zone a little bit more and not kind of worried about the future outcome of everything. And they kept telling me I'm young and you're learning and I just want to compete with them as much as I can—that's the goal."
