Max Scheffler is on the brink of achieving a rare feat in golf – the Masters double. The German golfer is currently in a strong position to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2001 to win both the Masters and the US Open in the same year.
Scheffler has had a remarkable season so far, with four top-10 finishes in his last five tournaments. He has also been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour, with three top-10 finishes in his last four starts. His best finish this season was a tie for third place at the Players Championship.
The Masters is one of golf’s four major championships, and it is widely regarded as the most prestigious tournament in the sport. It is also one of the toughest tests of golf, with a challenging layout and difficult greens. Scheffler has already shown that he can compete at this level, with a tie for fourth place at the Masters in April.
If Scheffler can win the US Open, he will join an exclusive list of players who have achieved the Masters double. The last player to do so was Tiger Woods in 2001, when he won both tournaments in the same year. Other players who have achieved this feat include Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Ben Hogan.
Scheffler is well aware of the challenge ahead of him, but he is confident that he can achieve the Masters double. He has already shown that he can compete with the best players in the world, and his recent form suggests that he is more than capable of winning a major championship.
The US Open will be held at Winged Foot Golf Club in New York from September 17-20. Scheffler will be one of the favorites to win the tournament, and if he can do so, he will join an elite group of players who have achieved the Masters double. It would be an incredible achievement for Scheffler, and it would cement his place among the greatest golfers of all time.
