You know, years from now, people may not remember me as a champion and that\u2019s fine. But in the moment, you think it\u2019s a lot bigger deal than it really is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Scheffler didn\u2019t simply win golf\u2019s most prestigious tournament. He also became the fastest winner in history, winning four major PGA Tour events in only 57 days and <a href=\"https:\/\/au.sports.yahoo.com\/masters-golf-2022-scottie-scheffler-wins-green-jacket-masters-title-makes-history-233805173.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beating<\/a> Tiger Woods\u2019 record of the shortest number of days to rise to World No. 1 after winning his first PGA Tour title, Yahoo Sports noted.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler went on to tell fans that his wife laughed at him for accidentally spilling his dinner in the car after he won the green jacket. But the following day, it all hit him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis morning was a totally different story; I cried like a baby this morning; I was so stressed out,\u201d the Masters winner said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do. I was sitting there; I was telling Meredith, I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t think I\u2019m ready for this, you know. I\u2019m not ready. I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m ready for this kind of stuff.\u2019 And I just felt overwhelmed. And so she told me, \u2018Who are you to say that you\u2019re not ready? Who am I to say that I know what\u2019s best for my life?\u2019 And so we talked about that God is in control and the Lord is leading me, and if today\u2019s my time, then it\u2019s my time, and if I shot 82 today, somehow I was going to use it for His glory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGosh, it was a long morning. It was long,\u201d Scheffler laughed.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Scheffler also said that ahead of the tournament, he was really stressed over the coming game. He said that he had dreamt of being in the tournament, adding, \u201cIf you\u2019re going to choose a golf tournament to win this would be the tournament I want to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he didn\u2019t want to make too much of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t know how many chances you\u2019re going to get, and so having a chance \u2014 I think I had a five-shot lead on Friday and then a three-shot lead going into today\u2014 I don\u2019t know if you get better opportunities than that,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t 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\u2019s fine. But in the moment, you think it\u2019s a lot bigger deal than it really is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston\">facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After his historic Masters win on Sunday, pro golfer Scottie Scheffler offered sincere thanks to God for his win, saying, \u201cGod is in control, and the Lord is leading me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":489,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1434508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1434508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1434508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1434508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1434508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
