The Players Championship: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler ready to tackle tougher test at TPC Sawgrass | Golf News happymamay

Rorre McLeri and Sisti Chefler is ready to embrace the more striking Sawgrass TPC test after obtaining a dispute at the end of the week in the players’ championship.

Mcilroy followed an opening round 67 with four less than 68 in the morning on Friday, as he occupied a short period of individual in front of two ghosts in his last four holes again to nine under two and two behind club leaders Akshay Bhatia and Min Woo Lee.

The Northern Irish played in the Mraquee Group alongside the Xander Schauflee and World No 1 Scheffler, who is five years old and six and six -year -old strikes for the second year in a row, chasing three historical peats on the players.

Winds are expected to enhance during the weekend and attend storms that exceed 30 miles per hour for subsequent beginners during the next two rounds, with Scheffler hope that the change in conditions can raise the level of leaders.

“It would be very difficult this week. The golf stadium was definitely applied in the first two days and I couldn’t benefit from it in the way I used to.

“Go to tomorrow and Sunday, [there will] Certainly some opportunities are there with changing conditions. The wind moves around a good amount here.

“If you go to a cycle like where the open championships are usually, you can play the ball on the ground. In this place you can’t really. Sometimes, you may feel that you are guessing a little on the wind, and we hope you guess more correctly than you are wrong.”

Mcilroy looks forward to the seventh becomes just a player who wins multiple versions of the players, after he won his victory in the 2019 competition, where No World No 2 is already enjoying success in stormy conditions in AT & T Peble Beach Pro-Am earlier this season.

“I am looking for it,” Mcilroy said about the imminent test. “I think it will be really important to try to ride the ball and keep it below the tree line.

“I think that as soon as the tree line goes beyond, it can begin to be truly exposed to it [wind]. It hovers a little, but I think when the wind is very strong, it will be more consistent. This course is difficult enough, but with such a wind, I am excited about this challenge. “

Mcilroy found only four corridors outside the starting point during his opening round, but he witnessed huge improvements on Friday, surpassing his first hole from today and making six sticks in his first 11 holes.

“Better”, added Mcilroy. “It hit her much better than the starting point. I think I hit more passages in six holes today more than I did yesterday.

“I got the game better, and then I managed to give myself some opportunities and it is clear to make some birds early. I couldn’t continue to do so back, but it was much better than the starting point.”

Schauffle completed the Marquee Group collection and continued not to admire his own performance, at his second event from the injury, where a main hero needed twice to the final opening bird to save 71 without 71 and gives himself an opportunity to make the weekend.

When asked about the mistake in his game, Chauvili said after his second tour: “Everything. Not hits it close enough, to the Daving chips, to the loss of every corridor, to strike the corridors to the lost vegetables.

“It’s great, to be completely honest. So if I can get out of this pieces, it will be nice. But the game feels bad. I’m not sure if it is a set of settings or something that I do not do or do not do in the course I do in the range, but it looks very bad.”

Sheffler shows cracks in his game?

Nick Dougherty from Sky SPORTS GOLF, talks to Sky SPORTS News about the beginning of Sheffler and his hopes of winning players for the third year in a row:

“It could not be prejudiced, I hate to say that, almost Tiger-asque, for a year of Tiger-eSque. No one was to this standard because Tiger was in my best.

“Nine victories last year, including this gold in the Olympic Games. He won the Master, and also won this in a row. If he won this, this will be three victories over the players, which no one other than Jack Nicholas did.

“However, there may be a few cracks that appear, and certainly across the first two events. It was a slow start in its season, as soon as it rolls, it was really good, but it was not Pinnacle Scottie Scheffler yet.

“If the fire caught during the weekend, it is more than one able to accomplish the mission. So far, although it seemed a little frustrated, some frustration on his face – small things but signs that we did not see last year when he was rising.”
