What Spieth and Scheffler are Saying Ahead of 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge Colonial Country Club is undergoing a huge renovation by Gil Hanse following this year’s tournament. Spieth saw Hanse’s initial plans from more than a year ago, and said it looks “really, really, cool. ” “It looks like it maintains the character of what Colonial is while creating some excitement on some holes that maybe could use a little bit of adjusting.

” Q: What is it about this course that fits your game? JORDAN SPIETH: I really enjoy playing this place. It kind of requires — it’s really a course where anyone can win. You’ve seen bombers.

You’ve seen shorter hitters, straighter hitters. It can yield anything, and you just have to hit a lot of shots. Sometimes on the shorter holes, you’ve got to really position it at the right distance and the right section of the fairway.

Then distance control is extremely important into the green. So if you’re not in the fairways, it’s very difficult out of this Bermuda rough to get your distance control correct. This week feels like a home game without maybe the extra that the Byron is for me.

So I’m able to stay at home, but I also kind of feel — I feel the support without maybe the added-ness that I always kind of felt at the Byron. And it’s a course that’s fit my game really well over the years. So really excited.

Game’s been in a really good place this year, continuing on an upward trajectory as you mentioned. Q. How does it feel to be the World’s No.

1 and back at your hometown course? SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I don’t really think much about rankings and stuff like that. It’s nice being back here at home and being able to play an event. Like I said, majors typically wear me down pretty good, especially when you’re in contention on the weekend.

I took Monday and Tuesday off, and was able to be at home and get some rest. I grew up coming to this tournament. Being able to come here and play the golf course and compete is definitely very special for me.

I’ve grown up dreaming of being out here, and now being on the other side where I’m inside the ropes and trying to do my best and compete is definitely very special.
