Of course, Scheffler is far from being solely responsible for the defeats of Foursomes.
His partner Russell Henley did not cover himself in much glory during the beating 4 and 3 on Friday by the European couple Aberg and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Henley is fourth in a world -class classification system for the omission of LIV’s golfers, but he looked unstable in his debut in the Ryder Cup.
Even Scheffler, whose game is based on consistent driving and metronomic plates, could not dig up them with problems.
“Scheffler and Henley could certainly shoot, but the European performance was perfect,” said the former European Cup Ryder Oliver Wilson Cup, who is analyzing Bethpage’s action for BBC Radio 5 Live.
“They made the Americans win everything and do not really think of the goods.
“The Americans made a small spell at the end, they had a little life, but it was not enough and it was too late.”
Scheffler was optimistic later, saying that he felt that his pairing did “some good things.”
“We simply did not do enough putts early. We had some opportunities. I think the putts simply did not fall,” he added.
On Friday afternoon, he could not make peace in the Fourballs along with the debutant JJ ​​Spaun, since Rahm and Seff Straka defeated them 3 and 2.
Again, he blamed his failures with his putter, the weakest part of his game, for his defeat.
It remains to be seen if Captain Keegan Bradley of the World Cup will be given another opportunity in the Foursomes on Saturday.
