Scottie Scheffler draws another blank to make unwanted Ryder Cup history
Scottie Scheffler continued to draw comparisons to Tiger Woods as he made unwanted history at the Ryder Cup.
The world number one became the first player since 1967 to lose all four matches in the opening four sessions as Europe put themselves on the verge of a historic victory, leading 11.5-4.5 going into the final day.
After opening day defeats in the fourballs and foursomes, Scheffler again returned empty-handed on Saturday with another double loss.
The 29-year-old, playing with Russell Henley, suffered a one-hole defeat to Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland in the morning foursomes, to make it a 100 per cent loss record from his four outings in that format.
Things got worse for him in the afternoon fourballs as he and partner Bryson DeChambeau were beaten 3&2 in a match that involved a bust-up between the players and caddies.
Scheffler is the standout individual player in the United States team, having won five tournaments this year including the PGA Championship and the Open.
It is a record that has put him clear of the field in a similar way to Woods during his pomp.
While Woods dominated on an individual level he could not bring that to the Ryder Cup, especially in the two-player formats where he had a poor record of nine wins, 19 losses and one half.
And it seems the 29-year-old is having a similar problem, with just one win, six defeats and two halves.
Before the tournament started Scheffler was asked whether he would be a difficult partner given his individual results.
Asked if he had an aura like Woods, he said: “Not really. I don’t have much to elaborate on that.
“I’d like to think that I’m not difficult to pair with people. I’d like to think of myself as someone that’s a nice guy and easy to get along with.
“I’ve had different partners over the years and have had some success. I would definitely not put myself in that category.
“I think some of the difficulty you had with playing with Tiger…I mean, I don’t even know what it could be. It could just be the aura that was Tiger Woods.
“There was some times there when he was doing nothing but winning golf tournaments and just beating the absolute crap out of people time and time again.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
