Scottie Scheffler talked about a lot of things at the Open Championship's preview press conference. The man mentioned that the CJ Cup Byron Nelson was one of the most meaningful competitions for him, after all, it was taking place in his hometown. He had always wanted to win a title in his hometown, and this year he was able to do that. But again, it just lasted a few minutes.

The golfer stated:

"It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling. And to win the Byron Nelson Championship at home, I literally worked my entire life to become good at golf, to have an opportunity to win that tournament."

He continued:

"I'm not here to inspire somebody else to be the best player in the world. Because what's the point? This is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment. But it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart." [1:02 onwards]

Scottie Scheffler scored a total of 3 under par in his first round at the Open Championship. As of this writing, he is tied for fifth place, one stroke off the lead.
