Interviewed after his dominant win in The Masters on Sunday, the number one golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, who is a religious Christian, demonstrated beautiful humility, acknowledging, “Who am I to say that I know what’s best for my life? … God is in control and the Lord is leading me.”

Scheffler followed later by stating humbly, “The human condition is just to make things bigger than they really are. You know, years from now, people may not remember me as a champion and that’s fine. But in the moment, you think it’s a lot bigger deal than it really is.”

Scheffler has won four PGA Tour events in only 57 days, “marking the shortest stretch from a first to fourth victory in PGA Tour history,” Yahoo Sports noted. “He had already smashed Tiger Woods’ record for shortest number of days (42) to rise to World No.1 after winning his first PGA Tour title.”

A reporter asked him, “Scottie, how did you handle the late tee time today? What did you do last night? What did you do this morning? And how many episodes of The Office did you watch?”

“You know, last night was pretty easy; I was tired, we went and got some food. I spilled my dinner in the car on the way home; that was extraordinarily frustrating,” Scheffler recalled, referencing his wife. “You can see Meredith is still laughing at me. She thought it was the funniest thing ever; I didn’t think it was so funny at the time. (laughing) And so last night was fine.”

“This morning was a totally different story; I cried like a baby this morning; I was so stressed out,” he admitted. “I didn’t know what to do. I was sitting there; I was telling Meredith, I was like, ‘I don’t think I’m ready for this, you know. I’m not ready. I don’t feel like I’m ready for this kind of stuff.’ And I just felt overwhelmed. And so she told me, ‘Who are you to say that you’re not ready? Who am I to say that I know what’s best for my life?’ And so we talked about that God is in control and the Lord is leading me, and if today’s my time, then it’s my time, and if I shot 82 today, somehow I was going to use it for His glory.”

“Gosh, it was a long morning. It was long,” Scheffler laughed.

Asked, “Did you calm down at any point,” Scheffler responded, “I think when — she made me some more food, I had a big breakfast. My stomach has been hurting for like two days straight. And so I would say I calmed down when I got to the course.”

A reporter asked why he felt the way he had in the morning. Scheffler replied, “I think because it’s The Masters. I’ve dreamed of having a chance to play in this golf tournament. I teared up the first time I got my invitation in the mail. We were fortunate enough to play here in college. I love this place. I love this golf course. If you’re going to choose a golf tournament to win this would be the tournament I want to win.”

“You don’t know how many chances you’re going to get, and so having a chance — I think I had a five-shot lead on Friday and then a three-shot lead going into today— I don’t know if you get better opportunities than that,” he said. “You don’t want to waste them. The human condition is just to make things bigger than they really are. You know, years from now, I would say people may not remember me as a champion and that’s fine. But in the moment, you think it’s a lot bigger deal than it really is.”
