The Ryder Cup moment from Scottie Scheffler that left Russell Henley amazed

One of Bradley’s vice-captains, Webb Simpson, spoke about Scheffler’s influence in the US team room during an appearance on the Bible Caddie Podcast.

Simpson highlighted how much of a presence the world number one had off the course, even with his struggles during play.

“There were multiple moments where I thought, beyond the competition, that you cannot muster up and synthetically create these type of moments,” he began by saying.

“The way the team lifted up the world number one Scottie Scheffler on Saturday night. Scottie, in the press conference, he said it. He said last night was one of the lowest moments of my career but it turned into one of the most special moments of my career.

“It is what Keegan said to him in front of the entire team and wives.

“It’s the way Russell Henley was so encouraged by Scottie Scheffler, because Scottie asked Russell how he was doing late in the day and Russell Henley was so affected that Scottie Scheffler, the world number one with the weight of the golfing world on his shoulders, is actually concerned about how Russell Henley is doing.

“Russell was affected by that. And then Keegan got to encourage the team and Scottie.

“This week was more than any purse, anybody’s record, even the Ryder Cup score. It was about these moments that we will never forget.

“I went up to Scottie and I could barely talk and I finally got out that as much as I admire his golf, I admire the man he is, the way he loves the Lord, his wife and family, that means way more to me than 19 wins and all the majors.

“When you are able to be in a moment, you rise above the current and can see there is a lot of good things that are happening here in the midst of a struggle. It’s just so special.”

Looking at Scottie Scheffler’s Ryder Cup record so far

Scheffler’s track record at the Ryder Cup does not exactly jump off the page.

He will need to turn things around if he wants to make a bigger impact in future editions.

For the US to find some consistency, Scheffler will need to figure out how to hit top form when it matters most in this competition.

The US need Scheffler to step up and be their anchor. But over the last two events, he has not quite been that.
