Scottie Scheffler’s Remarkable Comeback: Battling Adversity on the Golf Course
World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler carded his worst round in 266 days on Friday at the Charles Schwab Challenge, shooting a 2-over 73 that included a double-bogey on the 18th hole.
Scheffler’s round leaves him in a tie for 53rd place, 12 strokes behind leaders Patrick Cantlay and Brendon Todd.
After the round, Scheffler said he was still shaken by the events of Monday, when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and spent several hours in jail.
“It was a chaotic day,” Scheffler said. “I’m just glad to be out here playing golf again.”
Scheffler’s struggles on Friday were in stark contrast to his performance in the first round, when he shot a 4-under 66.
