Scottie Scheffler responded to a question about his lofty rankings streak.
—
Golf superstar Scottie Scheffler found himself ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Ranking on Wednesday, just hours before he was scheduled to tee off at 2:03 p.m. ET at the Texas Children’s Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course on Thursday.
With a $9.5 million purse on the line, golfers are locked in for what is expected to be a fiercely competitive tournament.
Video surfaced Wednesday of Scheffler responding to a question about his 97 weeks-long stay at the top of the rankings, to which the Ridgewood, New Jersey born golf superstar responded with a Tiger Woods themed answer that caught media attention.
