"I'm hoping to see some results soon" - Scottie Scheffler reveals how his putting woes robbed him of major glory in 2023   

The Open Championship was the only major in 2023, which saw the world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler failing to finish in the top 10 on the leaderboard. The star golfer has only two wins and had been quite close to winning a number of times this season.

The major reason behind the golfer falling short of winning is his lower putting average. He has constantly struggled with the putting aspect of the game.

Before the Open Championship, Scheffler also told about giving more time to better his putting at the practice greens of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club. As quoted by Golf Monthly, he said:

"The things that I'm working on right now I feel very excited about. I'm hitting a lot of good putts. Pretty soon, a lot of those good putts will start falling in the middle of the hole instead of dodging around the side of it."

Scheffler shared that he had been putting in a lot of good putts, and was hoping to see good results sooner or later.

"I have a lot of faith in what I'm working on right now, and I'm hoping to see some results soon," added Scheffler.

However, the practice surely did not help Scheffler as he finished T23 on the leaderboard. He had an average of -4.962 putting the ball into the hole at the Open Championship 2023.
