Read our privacy policy Xander Schauffele insists his remodelled swing remains a work in progress as he looks to capitalise on Scottie Scheffler’s absence from The Sentry. “Everything I was working on with Chris still feels like my swing, but it’s still something that’s a little bit uncomfortable,” Schauffele said. “As long as I’m producing good shots I feel the confidence to keep moving in the right direction, and obviously I got a lot of confidence after some results last year. Just like anything else, when you take some time off – I took a few weeks off playing golf – old habits die hard and I start to shift back into old swing patterns.” With world number three Rory McIlroy also absent from The Sentry – the Northern Irishman is the only player of the 60 who qualified for the event not to appear – the odds are further stacked in Schauffele’s favour.
