Justin Rose was ill before the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He was reportedly feeling unwell and had a fever before the tournament began. As a result, he missed Wednesday's pro-am and did not play a practice round at TPC Southwind before the tournament began. 

Despite this, the great golfer excelled in the first round, posting a 64, and in the final round he showed that giving up was not an option, winning against Spaun in a dramatic playoff. 

The mental strength that Rose showed can be an example for other golfers. 

Speaking to the media after the tournament, the Englishman stressed that he did not feel great before the tournament began. 

Rose revealed what his preparations were like; Everyone thought he would experience a real fiasco at this tournament, but on the contrary, he triumphed and showed that there is no obstacle for him.

"Yeah, it was a weird one. Monday night started to not feel 100 percent. Tuesday I came out and did some practice, didn't actually get on the golf course, didn't feel like playing nine holes was actually going to be helpful, so I just walked a couple of holes. I think we walked 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and by the time I did that, I was like, just get me to the car. I was hoping to sleep it off. Woke up Wednesday morning kind of even worse. My resting heart rate was like 80, and it's normally mid 50s.

I remember pushing myself through a pro-am earlier this year in Philadelphia and actually ended up withdrawing from the tournament by Saturday. So I tried to learn that lesson and I pulled out of the pro-am, unfortunately, on Friday, and — sorry, on Wednesday, and was able to get a lot of rest in that day and sleep.."- he said.

Justin Rose reveals the details

The experienced golfer revealed that by Thursday, he felt pretty reasonable. Looking back at this tournament, Justin believes that a few days less in the heat and on the golf course could help him to be mentally fresher. 

Rose admits that he did not expect to find himself in this position on Wednesday morning, but once again it was shown how unpredictable golf is. 

Rose can be an example for everyone; The hunger and desire for success does not diminish, even in the late playing years.

Tom Brady challenges Scottie Scheffler’s view on golf versus family priorities

Posted by on

Brady

Dominating in one sport, no matter what it was, is very challenging nowadays. The competition is fierce, there are more and more athletes and it is getting harder to reach the top. 

Scottie Scheffler seems to be the first name after Tiger Woods to show dominance in golf, winning two Majors this year, but being equally dominant last season. 

In an interview with the media, the 29-year-old often emphasizes that the biggest credit for his success goes to his family. 

However, Scheffler surprised many at the last press conference, where he pointed out that his family is his priority, and that playing golf is not a priority for him.

"That's why I talk about family being my priority because it really is. … Because I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. At the end of the day, that's what's more important to me."- Scottie said.

Tom Brady reacts

While his statements caused positive emotions among golf fans, there are also those who are not quite delighted with the statements of the 29-year-old golfer. 

Tom Brady, the legend of American football, had an interesting reaction to Scheffler's statements, a bit confused why Scottie excludes golf and family, considering that they can go together. 

Brady drew a parallel between Scottie's career and his own, stressing that through playing sports he was also an example for children and family.

"Scottie said he'd rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. And my question is: why are those mutually exclusive?" Brady wrote. 

"Sure, they're different blocks on the pyramid, but they're part of the same pyramid. They're connected! For instance, I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football."

Brady believes that by playing American football and making sacrifices to make his career, he was also making a sacrifice for his family. Tom wanted to show his family by his example how much he fights for them, but also show them what discipline, work and passion for a sport can bring. 

Brady does not want sports and family to be mutually exclusive, combining one with the other, and at the same time emphasizing that this combination can be a win-win for one person.

"My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."- he concluded.

Joaquin Niemann shares insights on Tom McKibbin’s game

confident player

Joaquin Niemann is, for many, the main face of LIV Golf. After a great round at LIV Golf UK, where he holds the lead by six shots, Niemann received some interesting questions from reporters.

In addition to Niemann, LIV Golf consists of many quality golfers, with Tom McKibbin being one of them. 

The Northern Irish golfer did not cause positive reactions in the public by joining the Saudi-backed Tour. Despite this, the young golfer took an unpopular path, wanting to build a story in a slightly different way. 

There are many who believe that McKibbin is one of the greatest potentials on the golf scene. 

After the end of the second round, Niemann answered the reporter's question about what impresses him the most about the Northern Irish golfer. 

Niemann is convinced that McKibbin can write history at LIV Golf, although he wasn't as dominant as expected.

"Yeah, it was the first time that I played with Tom since he joined. I never played with him.

I enjoyed playing with him. I think he's a great golfer. Obviously he's had the results before. He was in the top 10 on DP World. He probably hasn't had the results he wants to on LIV so far, but I think he's going to be all right. He's really young. You can tell coming from Ireland, I think they build pretty good golfers there, and the way he controls the ball into the wind and his short game, yeah, he's going to be great.

It was good fun playing with him, and you can tell he's a confident player."- he said.

Tom McKibbin's path

It is difficult to give the right answer in which direction Tom McKibbin's career will go, but it is clear that he has a strong potential to do great things on the golf scene in the future.

Experience will certainly be the key to his success in the future, no doubt.
