After his victory at the Masters, Scottie Scheffler once again won brilliantly at the RBC Heritage, demonstrating imperturbable concentration and exceptional mastery of the game. The world No. 1, author of another extraordinary performance, signs his fourth title this season in 5 appearances, this player is an extra-terrestrial.

Do you remember the time when it was said that scottie scheffler didn't know how to putt?

Since switching from a blade putter to a mallet putter before theArnold Palmer Invitational in March, Scheffler won at Bay Hill in TPC Sawgrass in Augusta National and again this week, at RBC Heritage, delayed by the pouring rain on the fairways of Harbor Town Golf Links.

Scheffler's latest victory marks his 10th victory in 51 career starts, a rate even higher than that of Tiger Woods, who needed 59 starts to get his 10th victory.

His incredible success is due to his exceptional play from tee to green. Once again, Scheffler dominated the Harbor Town tournament in strokes gained off the tee, strokes gained approaching the green and strokes gained overall. However, he ranked 36th in putting winners, but he took three shots with ease this Monday morning.

“It’s funny how quickly things can change around here. I think a lot of people are prisoners of the moment,”said Scheffler after his latest victory.

“If I hadn't won this week, I'm sure things would have been a lot different, but I'm the same person I was two months ago and I'll be the same person in two months no matter what. I'm not going to sit here and say I told you so or anything like that, because I just kept my head down and tried to do my best. Other than that, I have blinders on.”

Scheffler ignored outside noise like very few other players have been able to do. He won four of the world's biggest tournaments in the span of 44 days, which is a remarkable feat.

He also nearly won the Texas Children's Houston Open, but misread a six-footer for birdie on the 72nd hole. Stephan Jaeger triumphed that week, leaving Scheffler tied for second place with his only winless win since March 1.

Regardless, Scheffler's current journey falls into rare territory. The last player to win four times in five starts was Woods, who did it in 2007. Like Scheffler this year, that streak in 2007 included a major championship — Woods won the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

Scheffler, of course, won the Masters in historic fashion, then traveled to Hilton Head to win the RBC Heritage last week. He thus became the first player since Bernhard Langer in 1985 to win these tournaments two weeks in a row.

« I have pretty high expectations of myself and when I show up to a tournament I try to do my best", Scheffler said..

« I talked a lot about preparation and what it takes for me to be ready to step out onto the first tee. I feel like I've been putting in the work and playing some good golf, and it's good to see results with wins. Last year sometimes I felt like I was playing good golf but not winning, so now it's nice to sit here and win tournaments.« 

Some thought Scheffler wouldn't be at his best in Hilton Head this week, given his emotional Masters victory and the fact that he will soon be a father. It's understandable that his mind could have been elsewhere, but Scheffler still persevered.

“It was part of our plan to come here and play this week. I was able to go home for a few days and celebrate. I haven't really thought about it. I had committed to participating in the tournament. That's all there was to do. I haven't really thought about it." Scheffler explained..

“I committed to playing here; It was part of the plan, so we stuck to the plan. I talked about this at the beginning of the week; I didn't come here to have some sort of ceremony and have people congratulate me. I came here with a goal. I started slowly, but after that I played really good golf.”

Scheffler opened with a 2-under-par 69, then shot rounds of 66 and 63 to take a one-shot lead heading into Sunday's final round.

A significant delay due to rain late Sunday afternoon forced Scheffler and others to complete their course Monday morning, but the outcome was already known Sunday evening.

Scheffler held a five-shot lead with three holes remaining. He was never going to lose her, especially with the way he stayed focused.

The question now is whether he can maintain his focus in Valhalla next month and win the PGA Championship. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
