Scottie Scheffler is at 95 percent of his strength and ready to make a splash at the Tour Championship in East Lake. The world No. 1 is back after a nasty hand, foot, and mouth disease, making the competition take notice. Only a slight scratch in his throat remains; the rest? Almost history.
The viral infection had still bothered Scheffler at the BMW Championship, where reports indicated that blisters and sores made gripping the club difficult for him. Yet, even hampered, he secured a respectable tied 12th place – proof of his fighting spirit. Now that he feels "really good," he's poised for a strong showing.
Scheffler: The Unbreakable?
This kind of news is balm for the fans and a clear statement to the competition: Scheffler is not just the reigning World No. 1; he's also a resilient comeback kid. The fact that he could still finish in the top 15 despite this contagious illness is truly impressive and shows why he stands at the top.
Furious Finale for the FedExCup
The Tour Championship in East Lake is the big season finale and the battle for the FedExCup. The fact that Scheffler is now almost at full power again makes him one of the top contenders.
