Feet Quote by Scottie Scheffler
“If I hit a really good 6-iron, sometimes it's going to go to 2 feet and sometimes it's going to go to 15 feet, and it's like, 'well... it doesn't make a huge difference.' But if I have a 6-footer and I hit a really good putt and one time it goes in and one time it doesn't, everyone is like 'Oh, why did he miss that putt?'”
