He admitted it's been challenging not to compare himself to top-tier players like Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Åberg.“You're playing with Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Åberg who's also fresh on the TOUR and came out booming straight away and Scottie has been out here and we can see how good he's playing as well,” Potgieter said.“It's tough to compare your game to those guys... Right now my golf has been the best it's ever been, so we're definitely climbing the right ladder.”Aldrich Potgieter also reflected on how tough the transition from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour has been. Potgieter pointed out how difficult it was to stay focused and not get caught up in chasing results, especially with added pressure to finish inside the top 100 and retain his Tour card.“Coming to the PGA TOUR, you're on the top of the top in golf. It was really hard to not get focused off target and kind of stick to your own thing because you are very focused on results because with top 100 making it with your cards, not 120, 125 now, there's a lot of pressure to play well and to play a lot more."As the youngest player in this season’s playoffs, Aldrich Potgieter brings power and confidence to the field.
