NOTES AND QUOTES – SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WINS THE 2024 PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP ON NBC AND PEACOCK

By

“You know what No. 1 is? It’s when you do what he does. The consistency under pressure the last couple of years.” – Mike Tirico on 2024 PLAYERS Champion Scottie Scheffler

“Unbelievable! How did that not drop?” – Dan Hicks on Wyndham Clark’s lip-out on No. 18 to force playoff

“Go ahead and do…you’ve got to be kidding me. That’s got to be the cruelest, most brutal lip-out I’ve ever seen.” – Rich Lerner on Clark’s 18th hole lip-out on Live From The PLAYERS

STAMFORD, Conn. – March 17, 2024 – NBC Sports presented final round coverage of The PLAYERS Championship from The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., on NBC and Peacock.

Scottie Scheffler fired a final round 64 to defeat Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, and Brian Harman by one shot, becoming the first player in PLAYERS Championship history to repeat as champion.

Golf Central Live From The PLAYERS followed with post-round coverage on GOLF Channel and Peacock.

PLAYERS Championship – Final Round Leaderboard

Player Total
Scottie Scheffler -20
Brian Harman -19
Wyndham Clark -19
Xander Schauffele -19
Matt Fitzpatrick -16

 

ON SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER (-20, Champion)

Hicks following Scheffler’s final round 64: “No. 1 in strokes gained tee-to-green this week, the familiar refrain with Scheffler. Driving accuracy No. 1 at 80 percent and then the putting, which had been the negative narrative for so long – he turned that around and all of a sudden he’s just about bullet-proof.”

Scheffler to Kaufman on overcoming a neck injury throughout the week: “I’m a pretty competitive guy and I didn’t want to give up in the tournament. I did what I could to hang around until my neck got better and I’m just very thankful.”

Tirico on defining the No. 1 player in the world: “You know what No. 1 is? It’s when you do what he does. The consistency under pressure the last couple of years and now he has the chance to go back-to-back weeks winning on the PGA TOUR.”

Kisner prior to Scheffler’s eagle hole-out on No. 4: “This one ‘oughta be dancing around the hole.”

Kaufman on caddie Ted Scott flashing the number six after the hole-out: “The bet is, if (Scottie) has 10 hole-outs this year, I’ve got to pay him at the end of the year. And Scottie said, ‘We’re already at six, so…” (Ted) is already starting to get the wallet out.”

Hicks on No. 8: “Scottie Scheffler is turning back into Scottie Scheffler and his confidence grows with each and every shot.”

Kisner: “He looks like he’s back to the World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler that I’m used to watching.”

Kisner on Scheffler’s putting: “I love his routine. No line on the ball, just looking and reacting.”

ON WYNDHAM CLARK (-19, T-2nd)

Hicks on Clark’s lip-out on 18th hole to force playoff: “Unbelievable! How did that not drop?”

Kisner: “He two-stepped it early. Even after it started spinning out, he stepped again.”

Lerner on Live From THE PLAYERS: “Go ahead and do…you’ve got to be kidding me. That’s got to be the cruelest, most brutal lip-out I’ve ever seen.”

Wood on the wind at No. 17: “Just to add to the difficulty this is the hardest the wind has blown all week long. It’s blowing a good 15 mph right now and you can feel it.”

Faxon on the long pre-shot discussions between Clark and caddie John Ellis affecting his putts: “When you get into this situation, slow players slow down and fast players speed up and (Clark) has certainly slowed it down.”

Kisner after Clark missed fairway on No. 11: “Seems to be a little off, pulling the iron shots and over-curving the driver.”

Kisner on the communication between Clark and Ellis: “Love how much he’s asking his caddie John Ellis about shots he saw. He obviously had him watch the early coverage to see how balls are reacting on these greens.”

ON BRIAN HARMAN (-19, T-2nd)

Begay III on Harman checking the leaderboard: “I really love that about (Harman). He just wants to know exactly where he’s at because he’s not afraid of the moment.”

Kisner on Harman: “This guy has wanted the ball in his hands ever since I’ve known him, so it doesn’t shock me that he’s checking the leaderboard.”

Hicks on Harman’s finish: “He loves the course, he played his heart out this week. Another high finish but coming up a shot short.”

ON XANDER SCHAUFFELE (-19, T-2nd)

Faxon on Schauffele leaving his birdie putt short on 16: “Thought he’d be a little more aggressive there.”

Kisner: “You have to be.”

ON RORY MCILROY (-9. T-19th)

Hicks on Rory’s performance: “He hit five balls in the water this week, that’s the most in a PLAYERS Championship for him and it’s tied for the most of anyone this week… you can’t do it.”

NOTES AND QUOTES – THE 2024 PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP ON GOLF CHANNEL AND PEACOCK (FIRST ROUND)

By

“Iron play is more important than anything else and he has really been struggling in that regard. He told me exactly what he’s been working on (this week) and that he’d worked the problems out.” – Brandel Chamblee on Rory McIlroy on Live From The PLAYERS

“We are waiting on the ShotLink details on the club toss.” – Mike Tirico on Adam Hadwin throwing his club in the water on the 18th hole

STAMFORD, Conn. – March 14, 2024 – NBC Sports presented comprehensive of the first round of The PLAYERS Championship from The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., on GOLF Channel and Peacock. Golf Central Live From The PLAYERS followed with post-round coverage.

Dan Hicks, Mike Tirico and Steve Sands handled play-by-play duties, while Brad Faxon, Gary Koch and Notah Begay III served as analysts. John Wood, Smylie Kaufman and Roger Maltbie served as on-course reporters, while Damon Hack handled reports and interviews.

Today’s coverage included Roger Maltbie’s live interview with Jack Nicklaus winner of the inaugural PLAYERS Championship in 1974, as the event celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Rich Lerner, Brandel Chamblee and Paul McGinley anchored Live From The PLAYERS post-round coverage. Following are notes and quotes from today’s coverage.

 

PLAYERS Championship – First Round Leaderboard

Player Total
Rory McIlroy -7
Xander Schauffele -7
Wyndham Clark -7
Nick Taylor -6
Matt Fitzpatrick -6

 

ON TPC SAWGRASS STADIUM COURSE AND CONDITIONS

Koch on TPC Sawgrass: “It’s such a fun course to watch the players on. Like we have seen today, good things and bad things can happen in such a short time.”

Koch on the greens: “The average green size is 5,500 square feet. That’s relatively small for courses on the PGA TOUR. No surprise that iron play – strokes gained approach – usually a very important stat going towards winning the championship.”

Xander Schauffele to Damon Hack on when to be aggressive or conservative: “The scare of a bogey comes when you miss the fairways here. The rough is pretty thick, shockingly thick in some spots, so you just have to keep it on the short grass.”

Faxon on the keys to winning at TPC Sawgrass: “I learned to play here not using the driver a lot. A lot of holes are like No. 4 where if you just get in the fairway, you have a short iron in and then you have to chip and putt.”

McGinley on the ideal scoring conditions today: “The weather was a big part of it and the golf course is presented in unbelievably good condition this year. I was disappointed with the softness of the greens. A big way to hold players to their standards is to have the greens a bit firmer. When you give players of these quality, ideal weather conditions, they are going to take advantage.”

 

JACK NICKLAUS WITH ROGER MALTBIE ON THE FIRST TEE

Maltbie: “Did you envision the spectacle and importance The PLAYERS would have in the game today?”

Nicklaus: “We did not know but I did want to win it because Deane (Beman) wanted to make it as big of a tournament as we could make it. I said, ‘You want to get it on my list, then make it a major.’”

Maltbie: “Could you imagine in 1982 that it would become this big, beautiful park that it is today?”

Nicklaus: “It’s very pretty and the first tee here has totally changed. Everything is different but it’s in beautiful shape, it’s beautifully manicured. It’s the kind of golf course where on a day like today you’ll shoot good scores.”

 

ON RORY MCILROY (-7, Co-Leader)

Tirico on McIlroy: “Even with putting two balls in the penalty area off the tee today, Rory joins Justin Thomas as the last two players out of five total who have had 10 birdies in one round at The PLAYERS.”

Chamblee on McIlroy’s improved iron play on Thursday: “A lot of hard work went into this, and he had to iron some things out. This championship season, iron play is more important than anything else and he has really been struggling in that regard. He told me exactly what he’s been working on and that he’d worked the problems out.”

McIlroy to Hack on his round: “Much improved from Sunday at Bay Hill. Put a lot of work in over the last three days and honestly feel like I saw a lot of progress out there. It was a continuation of other things I have been doing well.”

 

ON WYNDHAM CLARK (-7, Co-Leader)

Kaufman: “His recovery ability has been incredible today, just the precision and power he plays the game with right now, it’s so impressive.”

 

ON SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER (-5, T-6th)

Hicks on Scheffler’s recent success with the putter: “He eliminated the line, it’s more of a feel. Added the mallet putter and it has just been a tremendous change.”

Maltbie on Scheffler: “The level of ball-striking that he carries from week-to-week is very impressive. Even when you don’t think he’s playing that well, you look up at the scoreboard and he’s -4.”

 

ON ADAM HADWIN (+3, 125th)

Begay III on Hadwin tossing his club into the water on the 18th hole: “That just tells you how this golf course can rock you off your knockers.”

Tirico on Hadwin: “We are waiting on the ShotLink details on the club toss.”

WAKE FOREST WOMEN AND NORTH CAROLINA MEN WIN 2023 EAST LAKE CUP FINAL

By

Consolation Matches won by Southern California Women and Georgia Tech Men

 

ATLANTA, (Nov. 1, 2023) – The Wake Forest women’s golf team and North Carolina men’s golf team claimed the ninth annual East Lake Cup title Wednesday afternoon at Atlanta Athletic Club to close their fall seasons. The No. 2-seeded Demon Deacons, the reigning women’s national champions, edged out No. 1 Stanford 3-2, while second-seeded North Carolina toppled No. 1 Florida State 3-1-1.

 

The women’s championship match was a back-and-forth affair which came down to the final hole of the week. In the lone match still in action, Wake Forest junior Carolina Lopez-Chacarra carded a par on No. 18 to clinch a 1-up victory over Stanford sophomore Megha Ganne and win the East Lake Cup.

 

Wake Forest picked up its first point when freshman Macy Pate claimed a 1-up win over Stanford junior Caroline Sturdza. The Cardinal bounced right back with a point from freshman Paula Martín Sampredro over Wake Forest senior Mimi Rhodes, 1-up. In the anchor match, Demon Deacon graduate student Rachel Kuehn took home a 5&4 win over Stanford senior and Monday’s medalist Sadie Englemann. The lone Wednesday match to go to a playoff was won in 21 holes by Stanford sophomore Kelly Xu over sophomore Anne-Steere den Dunnen of Wake Forest which tied the match 2-2 and set the stage for Lopez-Chacarra’s clinching point.

 

“It’s always wonderful to be victorious,” Wake Forest head coach Kim Lewellen said. “You know, we played against just two really tough competitors, USC and then Stanford, and then to compete with them, to make the matches come down to the last holes… you can’t simulate that. So it’s just wonderful, wonderful practice for them. Again, you can’t simulate it for postseason play.”

 

North Carolina held off Florida State in the men’s final, 3-1-1 and won the East Lake Cup for the first time in program history. North Carolina graduate student Austin Greaser clinched the East Lake Cup with a birdie on the par-3 17th and a 2&1 win over Florida State senior Gray Albright.

 

The Tar Heels also earned a point from junior David Ford, who defeated FSU senior Frederik Kjettrup 4&3. In the anchor match, North Carolina senior Peter Fountain never trailed during his 4&3 win over Seminole freshman Tyler Weaver. Florida State’s lone point came in the opening match when senior Brett Roberts notched a 3&2 triumph over Tar Heel grad student Kenan Poole. Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton rallied from a down-5 deficit and tied North Carolina junior Maxwell Ford moments after Greaser’s clinching birdie which brought the final tally to 3-1-1.

 

“It’s been amazing,” North Carolina head coach Andrew DiBitetto said. “I’ve said it a couple times, but for Golf Channel to put this on, for the East Lake Cup to have us, the East Lake Foundation, the Atlanta Athletic Club, you know, it’s great for the game of college golf, but it’s also great for the young men and women. It’s the match play format, but it’s also the galleries and it’s the TV.

 

“This is helping them develop… if they want to play professional golf, this is helping them significantly to that path because just the experience and the opportunity, so it’s been amazing.”

CONSOLATION MATCH RESULTS:

Men’s Division: (3) Georgia Tech def. (4) Florida, 2-1-2

 

In the women’s consolation match, Southern California controlled three of the five pairings to prevail over Texas A&M, 3-2-0. Aggie graduate student Jennie Park gave A&M an early lead with a dominant 9&8 win against USC junior Xin (Cindy) Kou. The Trojans bounced back with a point from junior Amari Avery, 4&3 over Texas A&M senior Zoe Slaughter. Southern Cal senior Brianna Navarrosa added a second point, topping Aggie sophomore Mia Nixon, 3&2. Grad student Blanca Fernández García-Poggio defeated USC freshman Bailey Shoemaker in 1-up fashion to post a second point for A&M. The anchor match was won by Southern California sophomore Catherine Park 4&3 over junior Lana Calibuso-Kwee to notch the team victory for the lady Trojans. 

 

“It’s amazing to be in this tournament; you’re one of the elite programs if you do,” said Southern California head coach Justin Silverstein. “We’re fortunate it’s our fourth time.

 

“Very pleased with our team. I think we’ve got a lot of good stuff going, good stuff out of this event. Getting match play experience against elite teams is hard to get in the regular season, so that’s why events like this are important.”

 

Georgia Tech left Atlanta Athletic Club as the men’s consolation match winner with a 2-1-2 victory over reigning national champion Florida.

 

Georgia Tech and Florida halved the first pairing between Tech fifth-year Bartley Forrester and Florida sophomore Matthew Kress. The next two points went to Yellow Jackets sophomore Hiroshi Tai and senior Christo Lamprecht, who claimed 2&1 and 4&2 victories, respectively. Freshman Carson Kim sealed the consolation match win for Georgia Tech with a tie against sophomore Gator Parker Bell. Red-shirt Freshman Luke Poulter earned the lone point for Florida in the anchor match 2&1 over Tech freshman and Monday’s medalist on the men’s side Kale Fontenot. 

 

“I think they showed up after the disappointment from yesterday,” said Georgia Tech head coach Bruce Heppler. “It was a long day. Had a chance to win that match and play for the title today, but they all kind of geared themselves up as the last day of the fall. I was happy with how everybody played.”

ENGLEMANN (STANFORD), FONTENOT (GEORGIA TECH) WIN INDIVIDUAL STROKE PLAY AT 2023 EAST LAKE CUP

By

Stanford (Women), Florida State (Men) Claim No. 1 Seeds for Team

Match Play Semifinals (Tuesday, 3-6 P.M. ET on GOLF Channel)

 

Women’s Semis: (1) Stanford vs. (4) Texas A&M; (2) Wake Forest vs. (3) Southern California

Men’s Semis: (1) Florida State vs. (4) Florida; (2) North Carolina vs. (3) Georgia Tech

 

ATLANTA, (Oct. 30, 2023) – Stanford senior Sadie Englemann fired a 3-under-par 69 to claim women’s medalist honors at the ninth annual East Lake Cup in Atlanta. Georgia Tech freshman Kale Fontenot earned the men’s individual crown with a 4-under 68.

Englemann followed up an even par front nine, that included one birdie and one bogey, with a flurry of three consecutive birdies to start her inward march en route to a 3-under-par 69 at Atlanta Athletic Club and finish atop the women’s division, two shots better than her closest competitor.

“I came into today with a really good mindset, I was really excited to play,” said Englemann. “I really saw the course yesterday; it fits my eye pretty well. I kind of struggled last week in a tournament so I came in with a new mindset this week of just trying to hit the center of the greens and hit the fairways. I got a couple putts to fall, and I got a round together.”

On the men’s side, Fontenot got off to a birdie, birdie start and then added four more birdies along with two bogeys to grab the clubhouse lead. North Carolina’s David and Maxwell Ford got to within one shot of the lead but couldn’t match Fontenot’s 4-under as he claimed the first individual title of his collegiate career.

“The course is great,” said Fontenot “It’s in such good condition. It’s tough, you have to hit it straight and make a lot of putts out here. It’s great.”
