Everyone except for Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n<p>Before Scheffler, 25, would emerge as the tournament winner, just weeks after he won his first career PGA Tour event, at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, his nearest competitors got tangled up in trouble that would sabotage their chances to win and leave them visibly frustrated afterward.<\/p>\n<p>All along, Scheffler\u2019s facial expression never changed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why Sunday with conditions mirroring that of a U.S. Open were a perfect fit for Scheffler, who\u2019s not only built for difficult course conditions, he thrives in them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why it\u2019ll be a mild upset if he doesn\u2019t someday win a U.S. Open or two. His even-keel demeanor is the perfect antidote to the trouble U.S. Opens present.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381773583.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Scottie Scheffler poses with the trophy and his family after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational.\" class=\"wp-image-21436180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381773583.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381773583.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381773583.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381773583.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Scottie Scheffler poses with the trophy and his family after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kevin C.

The kid just knows how to play. He\u2019s just good at golf. He\u2019s just really, really good at his job. We just stayed out of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>It\u2019s been quite a run for his son, who played in his first Ryder Cup in the fall (and successfully so), won his first PGA Tour event last month and now this.<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, Scottie Scheffler was a really good golfer who was moving up the world rankings with high finishes but still was searching for his first win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s always been this way, taking time to settle in,\u201d his dad said. \u201cEveryone was saying, \u2018Oh he can\u2019t win, oh he can\u2019t do this.\u2019 He\u2019s always been pretty good. Just let him be. He obviously has the head for the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The head and the heart.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, while his competitors blinked on Sunday, he never flinched \u2014 even while hitting a poor drive on No. 15 under a tree and then clipping a branch with his second shot that went only 30 yards. All Scheffler did was bury a 22-foot par putt to stay in the chase.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, after another poor drive on the par-5 16th to a squirrelly lie and stance that caused a poor second shot and forced him to hit a wedge onto the green for a longish par-save putt, he made that one, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was U.S. Open conditions,\u2019\u2019 Scott Scheffler said. \u201cHe said it to me on Thursday. I asked, \u2018What\u2019s the defense of the course?\u2019 He said, \u2018The greens. Sunday, it\u2019ll be a U.S. Open.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381821850.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Scottie Scheffler shakes hands with Viktor Hovland on the 18th green after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational.\" class=\"wp-image-21436184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381821850.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381821850.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381821850.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1381821850.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Scottie Scheffler shakes hands with Viktor Hovland on the 18th green after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Kevin C.

So, when the conditions get really tough and the fields get really good, I get excited. I work hard, and being in these moments is really fun. I kind of like the challenge of harder golf courses and harder conditions.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Next up for Scheffler is this week\u2019s Players Championship. Then the WGC Match Play. Soon after that, Augusta National, where Scheffler has to be considered a favorite after this run of golf he\u2019s been on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all going to take our family <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Augusta,\u201d Scott Scheffler said. \u201cPeople go to Hawaii, we get to go to Augusta. And we\u2019re going to drive again. We\u2019re going to drive in Scottie\u2019s 2012 Yukon with 170,000 miles on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott Scheffler then took a breath as he was about to accompany the family to the 18th green for the winner\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelieve me, I\u2019m more than elated,\u2019\u2019 he said, taking in his son\u2019s magical run. \u201cHow do you know?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Not until proof is served the way Scottie Scheffler delivered it Sunday at Bay Hill.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
