"I stay in my own little world"- Scottie Scheffler remains unfazed as he climbs up the leaderboard at the 2024 Open Championship

The 2024 golf season has been a successful one for Scottie Scheffler until now. Before arriving at the Royal Troon to play The Open Championship, Scheffler won the PGA Tour Travelers Championship. This victory helped him achieve the required momentum at The Open 2024.

After Round 1 at the Royal Troon, Scheffler carded 1-under to finish T11. While the Amercian displayed good golf, his best came in Round 2. On Friday, Scheffler moved six places up to finish T4. In the press conference after the round, Scheffler was asked if his name on the leaderboard affected other golfers.

Scottie Scheffler answered:

"Not really. I just try to stay in my own little world out there, just continue to hit good shots, and just try to execute."

If Scheffler is able to play some good golf in the coming days and potentially win The Open Championship, he will win his second Major championship of the season. Earlier this year, Scheffler had won the 2024 Masters. In total, he has won six events this year.
