Former US Ryder Cup captain Curtis Strange thinks Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will dominate at the Masters.
“I’m looking forward to the Rory-Scottie show,” the double US Open winner told ESPN.
“This year, once again, we have Scottie and Rory playing well. Rory seems to be hitting on all cylinders, which is a good thing for the Slam. Scottie going for three then Xander (Schauffele) and (Collin) Morikawa, a few others playing well. It’s hard to get past the first two or three, honestly.
“I just think they both have so much talent. I really think that Scottie, last year, was more consistent, obviously, because he won nine times. But I think Rory, just like that, could have a year like that, get some putts to go, get in a rhythm, get in a rhythm just like Scottie did last year.
“You go on hunches, and you go on feelings, and I spoke about Rory and Scottie this year. I really think both of them will be there at the stretch, at the end. I just think they both have so much talent. Would I take them against the rest of the field? It’s much like the question with Tiger against the field back when he was winning everything. It’s probably a bad bet, but I’d have to go with it just because.”
