“If Scottie Scheffler’s watching”: PGA pro compares himself to world #1 in hilarious record

Lanto Griffin added some humor to the Black Desert Championship when he cheekily compared himself to World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler. After completing his second round and making the cut, Griffin joked, “If Scottie’s watching, I’m you on cuts made,” referencing his own consistency in making it past the cut line in recent tournaments.

Currently tied at 57th place with a 5-under score, the 36-year-old golfer has managed to extend his cut streak to five, though his performance in these events hasn’t yet translated into titles.

Griffin’s playful remark comes as Scheffler continues his dominant run in 2024. The American golfer has enjoyed a career-defining season, securing one major championship, the FedEx Cup, and several tour titles. Scheffler also made the cut in 19 events and earned a record-breaking $62.2 million in prize money. With his achievements making headlines, Griffin’s lighthearted comparison offers a glimpse into the camaraderie and humor that exists within the competitive world of professional golf.
