The world No. 1 admitted he didn't feel the same after Friday's arrest and emotional day, and Saturday shot his first over-par round all year.
The reigning Masters champion failed to shoot par or better for the first time this year, finishing with a 73 to fall into a tie for 24th at Valhalla Golf Club.
“I definitely didn’t feel like myself for sure,” Scheffler told CBS after his highest score since the Tour Championship last August. “Yesterday happened and didn’t feel the same. This morning was definitely not my usual routine for a round.” The score broke Scheffler’s streak of 42 consecutive rounds of par or better that dated to the third round of the Tour Championship in August. He came up 10 rounds short of Tiger Woods’s record of 52 set in 2000-01 and fell out of contention for a second straight major title.
Scheffler shot 73 at East Lake Golf Club, which was 3 over par. His score of 73 at Valhalla was 2 over and included a double bogey-bogey-bogey stretch from the 2nd through 4th holes.“It was a tough day,” he said. “I got off to a tough start. Battled as hard as I could. But every time I would make a birdie, would bogey the next hole. I made too many mistakes today. I’m frustrated. But I will come back tomorrow.”Bob Harig is a golf writer for SI.
