Randy Smith opened with an eye-catching comment: “Since I’ve been teaching golf, I’ve never met anyone as talented as Scottie Scheffler.” That statement sums up the natural qualities, discipline and composure of the champion.
He said that Scheffler always puts positive pressure on people around him, including his coach. Seriousness in each exercise, breathing control, and steadfast spirit make every workout a higher standard.
Not only does Scheffler possess a stable swing technique, he also manages his psychology very well. His fairway drives, ability to read greens accurately, and how to handle situations under pressure define his playing style.
Randy Smith revealed that the key is the repetition process, from warm-up, set-up, to the rhythm of shifting the focus. When the process is perfect, the brain can “free” itself from fear, giving way to feeling and intuition.
He emphasized that during difficult times, Scheffler did not complain about the circumstances or field conditions. He focuses on what he controls: club contact, clubhead speed, and ball trajectory. This mindset helps him overcome pressure.
In the deciding round, every putt is like a test of nerves. Scheffler chose the “small but sure” way, accepting strategic bogeys when necessary, to preserve his advantage. Mature tactical thinking is his big plus.
Randy said that there were rehearsals just to “fix one detail”. Adjust the grip a millimeter, change the position of the ball halfway, or change the count before putting. Small things weave into big results in the final hole.
Besides, he praised Clare Fleetwood for her persistent performance at the PGA final. Clare’s consistency, good physical strength, and way of keeping up the pace of play bring fresh colors to golf-loving audiences.
Clare is proof that perseverance and proper energy management will help overcome windy days, slippery greens, and scoreboard pressure. She is not noisy, but each blow has a clear tactical idea.
Randy appreciates Clare’s competitive spirit of respect for opponents. Every salute to the green, every slight nod in front of the stands is a message about golf culture: discipline, tough competition schedule, and respect for the rules of the game.
What surprised the audience was the positive atmosphere between the two teams. When the race was tense, they still shared smiles and looked at each other with respect. That is a beauty that is difficult to find in today’s top sports.
Randy said that Scheffler regularly proactively asked the team about green feel, wind speed, and the safest approach angle. That meticulousness makes the game plan flexible, avoiding risks when the field changes state.
In terms of technique, Randy emphasizes “the club head is in the right place, the body is in the right rhythm”. With Scheffler, the supporting leg stays stable, the hips lead, the shoulders open at an angle, and the wrists release at the moment of contact, limiting excess spin.
In the short game, Scheffler practices many options: rolling chips, soft flops, or bump-and-run in headwinds. Each choice has clear criteria: distance, slope, green speed, and safest landing zone.
Competitive psychology is a layer of armor. Randy uses exercises that simulate pressure: forcing him to complete a series of consecutive putts, or setting a birdie target in a “virtual grandstand” setting to train his heart rate, breathing, and quick decisions.
For Clare, progress comes from maintaining a steady backswing speed. When the rhythm is steady, the clubface opening at impact is better controlled, limiting mis-hits. This is extremely important on difficult chess days and uncertain winds.
Randy believes that team culture is a sustainable advantage. Fidelity with data, quick feedback after each round, and a specific learning process help athletes improve week by week, instead of waiting for the rare push.
The physical factor cannot be ignored. Scheffler focuses on core exercises, balance and hip flexibility. Conditioning sessions are designed to help the body endure four days of competition, keeping the knees and lower back stable.
One aspect worth mentioning is sleep management and nutrition. Energy intake schedule before and after the round, carb and protein ratio, and additional minerals according to the weather help to recover quickly, reducing technical errors due to muscle fatigue.
What’s more surprising, according to Randy, lies in his humility. Even standing on a high platform, Scheffler is ready to return to the practice area and repeat simple drills. He sees each victory as a reminder to stay loyal to the foundation.
That humility inspires fans and opponents. Beautiful victory is not only in the scoreboard, but also in the way you treat the game. When you respect the game, it returns extraordinary moments.
Randy concluded: talent opens the door, discipline keeps you in the room, and attitude decides where you sit. Scheffler demonstrated that the three elements can coexist, and Clare shows that persistent effort always has a voice.
The audience left the field with a complete feeling: witnessing top-notch technique, sharp tactics, and beautiful sportsmanship. That is the greatest value that golf brings, surpassing all debates, leaving lasting inspiration.
