‘Really immature’: Xander Schauffele gets candid about major that got away
A brutal start sparked Xander Schauffele’s U.S. Open collapse. The four-time PGA Tour winner admitted to some “really immature” behavior and an inability to gather himself after a disastrous triple-bogey on the opening hole at The Country Club. Schauffele was inches away from carding a snowman, hitting four consecutive tee shots into the left rough. Despite holing out from 103 yards for birdie at the next, he made another bogey at the third and just couldn’t recover, missing the cut by one shot at 9 over.
Schauffele’s candid assessment of his performance laid bare his frustration, and the mental challenge he faced after such a poor start.
