우승 – 스코티 셰플러 (280타, -8)

2024시즌 일곱번째 시그니처 이벤트 대회의 주인공은 스코티 셰플러 선수가 차지했습니다. 올시즌 이미 4승을 기록한 스코티 셰플러 선수는 메모리얼 토너먼트 대회까지 석권하면서 7년전에 저스틴 토머스 선수가 세운 시즌 5승을 달성하게 되었네요. 아직 시즌 중반도 오기전에 세운 기록이라 올시즌 과연 몇승을 더 올릴수 있을지는 지켜봐야겠습니다. 시즌 상금 또한 400만 달러를 추가하면서 이미 작년에 본인이 세운 시즌 최고상금기록을 훌쩍 넘어 2,400만 달러를 벌어들였습니다. 한화로 환산하면 약 330억 4,000만원이라는 어마어머한 상금입니다.

평균스코어, 평균버디, 우승순위, 상금순위, 페덱스컵 랭킹에서 모두 1위를 기록하고 있는 스코티 셰플러 선수입니다. 과연 이번 시즌에는 어떤 기록들을 달성하지 궁금하네요. 시즌 마지막으로 치러지는 페덱스컵 플레이오프 대회마저 우승해 버린다면 시즌 상금 4,000만달러도 달성할 수 있을거 같네요. 시그니처 이벤트 마지막 대회 트레블러스 챔피언십 대회와 메이저대회인 U.S 오픈, 디 오픈 챔피언십 대회가 남아 있으며, 상금 규모가 큰 대회도 기다리고 있어 천문학적인 우승상금을 획득할 것으로 보여집니다.

2024 메모리얼 토너먼트

우승후 전설 잭 니클라우스와 기념사진도 찍고 갓 태어난 아이와도 멋진 사진을 찍은 스코티 셰플러 선수입니다.

콜린 모리카와 선수가 18번홀까지 끈질기게 추격을 해왔지만 끝내 역전을 허용하지 않은 스코티 셰플러 선수입니다. 18번홀에서 어려운 내리막 파퍼트를 성공하면서 끝내 콜린 모리카와 선수에게 공동 선두를 허용하지 않았네요. 이번 시즌에 로리 맥길로이 선수의 조언으로 말렛형 퍼터로 바꾼게 정말 신의 한수였습니다.
