An influential voice insists Russell Henley fits as the fix for Scheffler’s partnerships.

Overview

  • Scheffler’s four-ball record stands at 1-0-2, and he has been stronger in singles at 1-0-1 entering this Ryder Cup.
  • The results have invited comparisons to Tiger Woods, who posted 32.1% foursomes and 33.3% four-ball winning rates in his Ryder Cup career.
  • Jim “Bones” Mackay told Golf Channel he believes Henley is the right partner for Scheffler, praising his clutch putting while acknowledging Bethpage’s length could challenge him.
