The Procore Championshipwas a great introduction to this year's Ryder Cup. The American team wants to adequately prepare for the upcoming competition, which will be held in 11 days at Bethpage Black. Aware of the role of the favorites, the American team is motivated to take a big step and avenge the defeat in Rome two years ago.
This tournament brought a lot of excitement, and despite Ben Griffin having a one shot lead before the final round; that is, two strokes ahead of Scheffler;the 29-year-old dropped the lead.
You could feel a bit of nervousness in Griffin, who missed a birdie putt on the 72nd hole and thus failed to secure a playoff.
Scheffler was delighted with this victory, stressing that he felt great on the court, and at the same time remained optimistic before the big tournament.

I felt like my game got better as the week went on and played some really nice golf Saturday and Sunday to be sitting here."
Predictions
This scenario could already be guessed, given that many times during this and last season we saw Scheffler pick up the pace during the last two days of the tournament, especially in the final round.
