When Scottie Scheffler was asked about Tony Romo before RBC Heritage he gave a funny and honest answer. The World No. 1 spoke to reporters on Thursday and reacted to Romo’s claim that he wanted to beat him at golf. Rather than ignore this, Scheffler brought up something interesting. He revealed that Romo had already defeated Jordan Spieth before, which immediately attracted attention.This comment soon became a topic of discussion as Romo is better known for football than golf. As Celebrity Net Worth reports, Romo has an estimated net worth of $80 million, but his golf game is also clearly serious. Scheffler kept things light but also showed respect for Romo’s ability, making it clear he wasn’t taking him lightly at all.

Scotty Scheffler talks Tony Romo’s win over Jordan Spieth as he builds momentum at RBC Heritage

Scottie Scheffler didn’t try to tear Tony Romo down at all. Instead, he smiled and revealed something many people might not know. “He’s beaten Jordan before, so thanks to Jordan for that,” Scheffler said. He then added, “But he hasn’t beaten me yet. I’m not going to say he can’t do it because he’s a good golfer, so I certainly wouldn’t go out and say he can’t, and we play a lot of golf together too, and in golf you never know what’s going to happen.”Two things emerged from that reaction at once. First of all, Scheffler respects Romo’s game. Second, he is confident in his level. Golf can change quickly, and Scheffler made that clear with his words.Scheffler, meanwhile, is still focused on his PGA Tour season. He started off strong by winning The American Express earlier this year. After that, he remained consistent with solid finishes, including a tie for third place at the WM Phoenix Open and a tie for fourth place at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. His form remained steady, even though he did not win every event.His most recent major result came at the Masters, where he tied for second after four consecutive rounds of 70, 74, 65 and 68. That performance showed he is still at the top of his game.Now at RBC Heritage, Scheffler is off to a positive start. He opened with 3-under 68. His round got off to a slow start with a bogey on the first hole, but he quickly recovered. He made birdies on both the front and back sides to remain at par.Speaking after the round, Scheffler said, “I think I did some good things there. The conditions were tough at the end of the day. Yeah, I did a lot of good things. I would have liked to have had a better start, but other than that, I thought I did pretty well.”While Scheffler is building his round step by step, Ludwig Aberg has taken the early lead with an 8-under 63. The tournament is still open, but Scheffler looks settled and ready to move on.
