Harris English amazed by what Scottie Scheffler was doing at East Lake before the Tour Championship

Scottie Scheffler has taken over the PGA Tour this year. The world No. 1 just picked up his fifth win of the season at the BMW Championship, continuing a stretch that’s seen him finish inside the top 10 in nine of his last 10 starts.

This year, Scheffler loses that advantage with the move to cumulative scoring. In past formats, he would have started at 10 under par, two shots ahead of anyone else.

That two-shot lead played a big role last year when he edged out Collin Morikawa at East Lake. Morikawa actually had the lowest gross score in that event.

But even without starting strokes, it’s tough to see how anyone slows him down right now. He hasn’t finished outside the top 30 since then.

Harris English impressed by Scottie Scheffler’s preparation ahead of the Tour Championship

“It’s so different. I remember in my first few years on tour, I wouldn’t say guys took it as serious as they do now,” English said. “Just yesterday, the workout trailer opens at 7am and who’s the first person in the workout trailer? It’s Scottie Scheffler. That’s really cool for me to see.”

“This is the best player in the world, he’s been the best player in the world for a long time now, and he’s working his tail off. He’s the first player here getting ready to play at East Lake, trying to win the event. He just came off an unbelievable performance at Caves Valley and he never lets up.”
