Scottie Scheffler closed out the FedEx Cup at East Lake, rallying from three back with a final-round 66 for his second FedEx Cup title and 22nd PGA Tour win. This week Scott breaks down what actually separates Scheffler from the rest of the tour — it's not the longest swing or the prettiest one, it's what happens between his ears when the tournament's on the line. Scott gets into the nervous system side of it: sympathetic vs. parasympathetic response, and why a golfer who can stay regulated over a shot has a real physiological edge when everyone else's nerves are spiking. Scheffler hits it a mile, but that's not the superpower — the short game and the calm are.
Then it's on to
Admire or Emulate: Scheffler's swing is quirky — a little armsy, far from textbook — with real ankle mobility off-setting his tight hips. Scott makes the case for why "hit it like Scottie" is the wrong takeaway, and why the calm and the short game are what's actually worth chasing.
Plus, on the DP World Tour: Joe Dean, a 32-year-old former grocery delivery driver ranked 292nd in the world, comes from seven shots back with 11 birdies in his final 24 holes to win the Husqvarna British Masters. Two wildly different stories, one theme — golf rewards whoever can stay in the moment on Sunday.
