ジャスティン・トーマスがUSAの厳格なベスページ・ブラック戦略を詳述する中、スコッティ・シェフラーには特別な役割はない
As the 2025 RDER Cup approaches, the spotlight naturally falls on Scotty Sheffller, the world’s number one golfer and a four-time major champion. His meteoric rise in the past few years has led many to wonder, does his elite status grant him a unique position within team USA. Justin Thomas, a seasoned Ryder Cup veteran and Sheffller’s close friend, offers a refreshing perspective on this topic. In a recent press conference, Thomas was asked whether Sheffller’s accomplishments set him apart from the rest of the team. His response was unequivocal. He’s definitely one of 12 when it comes to the team. I think it is very cool and unique that everybody on our team is. It’s not like Scotty gets more points for winning a match than I do or JJ Spawn or Colin Morawa or Xander. Whatever it is, at the end of the day, it’s just all about going and winning your point. Thomas emphasized that regardless of individual accolades, every player is equally valuable in the team’s pursuit of victory. However, when probed about whether Sheffler possesses an aura that commands special treatment, Thomas was candid and blunt. It’s a good question. I don’t know. He doesn’t to me, but I also feel like I know him well enough that even if he did, I wouldn’t give him that credit and let that get to his head because he’s competitive and can get chirpy enough. That’s the last thing I need him knowing that if I did feel that way. Thomas’s response highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect within the team. While acknowledging that others might perceive Sheffller differently, he remains steadfast in treating him as an equal. Sheffller himself has expressed his thoughts on the dynamics of team events. Reflecting on the long gap between the end of the PGA Tour season and the RDER Cup, he remarked, “I find it really weird there’s four or five weeks between the end of our season and a huge team event.” Despite the unusual timing, Sheffller emphasized the importance of preparation and rest, aiming to strike a balance that ensures peak performance during the Rder Cup.
