Xander Schauffele was not in East Lake for the first time in his career. This is the result of a rib injury that took two months at the start of the season. He never found his game at all out of sync with his swing in his game.<\/p>\n

“It’s good to have three months off, and to be honest it’s ideal,” Schauffele said at the BMW Championship. “I feel like I need to go far from golf anytime soon, and that’s how I feel.”<\/p>\n

But that’s not the reality. Schauffele had a big year in the majors last year. He won the top 10 opens in the PGA Championship and two other ones.<\/p>\n

3 months? The Ryder Cup starts on the 38th.<\/p>\n

Schauffele was one of the players who confirmed to the Associated Press in July that the US team was scheduled to play at the Procore Championship in Napa from September 8-14, two weeks before the Ryder Cup. The exception is Bryson Dechambeau, who was stopped in 2022 when it bolted to a Saudi-funded Liv Golf and was then among those who sued the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know,” Schaufele said when asked if he was there. “I haven’t signed up yet. It’s nice to play, but if you don’t think the performance will help me, I won’t play.”<\/p>\n

Schaufele extended his cut streak to 71, despite recovery from a rib injury that led to his swing coming out of the way. He also managed six finishes in the majors with top 12 and two top 10.<\/p>\n

“I think I understand it more than before,” he said. “My previous complaint was that I didn’t understand why I was doing something certain. Now I know why I don’t know how to make it worse and fix it. So, frustration for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

He kept his attitude in good condition. Regardless of his outcome from California, he is famous for his positive attitude – and he looks forward to sorting it out.<\/p>\n

“I love golf, I love trying to understand that,” he said. “But it was a challenge. You need to hit the reset button. The next step is to have a solid plan and stick to it.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
