Scheffler's Driver Advice for NFL Coach O'Connell

During a recent pro-am event at the 3M Open, World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler shared the golf course with Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell recounted the experience on Kevin Clark's 'This Is Football' show, detailing how Scheffler was an exceptional playing partner. He described Scheffler as not only the best golfer in the world but also a superior person, praising his engaging demeanor and positive interaction with the group.

Scheffler, in turn, spoke highly of O'Connell, noting his intelligence and suitability for coaching. The standout moment from their outing involved Scheffler offering O'Connell advice on his golf game. Instead of playing conservatively with a 3-wood off the tee, Scheffler encouraged O'Connell to "Hit your driver, hit it as far as you can and we'll go find it." This simple directive proved beneficial, leading to improved play for the NFL coach. Despite O'Connell being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he received a warm reception in Minnesota for the duration of the event.
