R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, In an impressive display of skill and determination,
  Texas resident Scottie Scheffler captured the 86th Masters
  Tournament golf championship on April 10, 2022; and
         WHEREAS, Entering as the No. 1 player in the FedExCup and
  Official World Golf Rankings after winning three of his previous
  five tournaments, Mr. Scheffler joined the world's best golfers at
  Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia; following a first-round
  3-under 69, he overcame two bogeys with four birdies on the back
  nine; by the second day of the tournament, he was the leader after
  36 holes; in the next round, he fired a 71 for a 3-stroke advantage
  heading into the final round; and
         WHEREAS, With the coveted green jacket on the line,
  Mr. Scheffler demonstrated remarkable composure under pressure;
  his short game allowed him to grind out crucial par saves, and he
  reeled in four birdies, ultimately carding a total score of
  10-under-par 278 to become Masters champion; he closed out a
  storybook year by finishing in a tie for second in the FedExCup
  standings and receiving the Jack Nicklaus Award given to the PGA
  Tour Player of the Year; and
         WHEREAS, Born in New Jersey, Mr. Scheffler moved with his
  family to Dallas at the age of six; as a youth, he won 75 times on
  the Northern Texas PGA Junior circuit and went on to even more
  success in American Junior Golf Association events, culminating in
  2013 Player of the Year honors; at Highland Park High School, he
  matched a state record with three straight individual state titles
  and was named the top-ranked junior golfer in the country; and
         WHEREAS, This accomplished athlete went on to attend The
  University of Texas at Austin, where he won the Phil Mickelson Award
  as the nation's top freshman and was a three-time All-American;
  after earning a finance degree from the McCombs School of Business,
  he turned pro in 2018; the following year, he secured fully exempt
  PGA Tour status for the 2019-2020 season and ended his rookie season
  ranked fifth in the FedExCup standings; in 2021, he recorded eight
  top-10 finishes on the tour; and
         WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Scheffler benefits from
  the love and support of his wife, Meredith, his parents, Scott and
  Diane Scheffler, and his sisters, Callie, Sara, and Molly; and
         WHEREAS, With his spectacular performance at the 2022
  Masters, Scottie Scheffler has proven himself one of the premier
  competitors in pro golf, and he is indeed deserving of recognition
  for his outstanding accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Scottie Scheffler on winning the
  2022 Masters Tournament and extend to him sincere best wishes for
  continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Scheffler as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
