This week’s Monday Finish swings into the RBC Heritage with Matt Wallace’s preparation for the CJ Cup at Byron Nelson, Phil Mickelson’s parting thoughts on the PGA Championship and analyst Mark Fulcher reminiscing on the late Dan Jenkins.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler expressed frustration after a disappointing drive on the 18th hole, potentially jeopardizing his chances of making the cut. Despite a solid start to the tournament, his wayward tee shot left him facing a challenging approach.
Scheffler’s irritation was evident as he slammed his driver into the ground. The errant shot could have severe implications, as the cutline is projected to be around par or even under. Scheffler is currently on the cusp of missing the weekend rounds, putting pressure on him to recover in the remaining holes.
