Xander Schauffele’s first two rounds at The Open this week came in the same group as Tiger Woods. That prompted the media to ask the PGA champion if Woods passed along any messages as he attempted to chase down his second major title of the season.
“No, you have to win these things to get a text from him,” Schauffele responded.
On Sunday, Schauffele secured both a congratulatory message from Woods and the Claret Jug, as a sizzling final-round 65 vaulted the American to a two-shot win over Justin Rose and Billy Horschel.
