Scottie Scheffler gave a fun and honest answer when he was asked about Tony Romo ahead of the RBC Heritage. The World No. 1 spoke to reporters on Thursday and reacted to Romo’s claim that he wants to beat him in golf. Instead of brushing it off, Scheffler brought up something interesting. He revealed that Romo has already beaten Jordan Spieth before, which caught attention right away.The comment quickly became a talking point because Romo is better known for football than golf. As reported by Celebrity Net Worth, Romo has an estimated net worth of $80 million, but his golf game is clearly serious too. Scheffler kept things light but also showed respect for Romo’s ability, making it clear that he is not taking him lightly at all.
Scottie Scheffler talks Tony Romo’s win over Jordan Spieth while building momentum at RBC Heritage
Scottie Scheffler did not try to downplay Tony Romo at all. Instead, he smiled and pointed out something many people may not know. “He’s beat Jordan before, so shout-out to Jordan for that,” Scheffler said. He then added, “But he hasn’t beaten me yet. I’m not going to say that he can’t because he’s a good golfer, so I’m definitely not going to go out and say that he can’t, and we also play a lot of golf together, and in golf you never really know what’s going to happen.”That response showed two things at once. First, Scheffler respects Romo’s game. Second, he is confident in his own level. Golf can change quickly, and Scheffler made that clear with his words.At the same time, Scheffler’s focus is still on his PGA Tour season. He started strong earlier this year by winning The American Express. After that, he stayed consistent with solid finishes, including a tie for third at the WM Phoenix Open and a tie for fourth at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. His form stayed steady, even if he did not win every event.His most recent big result came at the Masters, where he finished second after four steady rounds of 70, 74, 65, and 68. That performance showed he is still right at the top of his game.Now at the RBC Heritage, Scheffler has begun on a positive note. He opened with a 3-under 68. His round had a slow start with a bogey on the first hole, but he quickly settled in. He picked up birdies on both the front and back nine to stay under par.Speaking after the round, Scheffler said, “I feel like I did some good stuff out there. Conditions were tough late in the day. Yeah, I did a lot of good things. Would have liked to have had a better start, but outside of that, I felt like I executed pretty well.”While Scheffler is building his round step by step, Ludvig Åberg has taken the early lead with an 8-under 63. The tournament is still wide open, but Scheffler looks settled and ready to push forward.
