Description
Pre-tournament press conference with defending champion Scottie Scheffler ahead of The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport.
Scheffler discusses returning the Claret Jug and attempting to become the first player since Padraig Harrington in 2008 to successfully defend The Open. He assesses the firm and fast links course, tight fairways, strategic challenge and his equipment choices after arriving early following a missed cut at the Genesis Scottish Open.
Scheffler also reflects on the frustration of missing cuts, finishing second at the Travelers Championship, his motivation, legacy, handling nerves and the demands of constantly being in the spotlight.
