Scottie Scheffler has a strong mind that will be put to the test as expectations rise: Analysis

ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler looked old even when he was young, so it was worth taking stock of his words when his final task of golf's greatest season in nearly two decades was complete.

“I feel like I've lived almost a full lifetime in this one year,” he said after winning the FedEx Cup at East Lake. “It's been nuts.”

Consider a timeline of images from the Year of Scottie.

Scheffler sat on a chair behind the 14th tee as his trainer massaged his neck for pain that had him considering whether he should withdraw. He stuck it out, and two days later rallied from five behind to become the first player to win back-to-back at The Players Championship.
