Dame Laura Davies Reacts to Scottie Scheffler’s Surprising Comments Before The Open
Sky Sports pundit and renowned champion Dame Laura Davies expressed her confusion over Scottie Scheffler’s recent remarks ahead of The Open Championship. The world No. 1 golfer revealed that holding the top spot on the leaderboard doesn’t bring him as much joy as one might expect.
Davies was taken aback by Scheffler’s perspective, stating, "I’m a little flabbergasted. I have no idea what he’s talking about. You can only feel how you feel." She added, "If golf doesn’t excite him shortly after winning a tournament, that’s definitely unusual."
For Davies, winning has always been a source of immense joy and excitement, as she noted, "Winning meant everything to me, and the thrill is unforgettable. You never know when your next victory will come." She finds it puzzling that Scheffler doesn’t seem to savor his wins for long, adding, "I think that’s quite unusual."
As discussions around the mental and emotional aspects of competitive sports continue, Davies’ insights shed light on the differing attitudes athletes may have towards victory and achievement in golf.
