‘Something is behind my ball’: Wild ruling interrupts Xander Schauffele’s Olympic charge

Xander Schauffele’s Olympic golf campaign was interrupted by a bizarre ruling regarding an object behind his ball. During the third round at Kasumigaseki Country Club, Schauffele addressed his ball on the 18th green when he noticed an anomaly.

Upon closer inspection, the American discovered a small piece of debris, possibly a leaf or twig, lodged behind his ball. Rule 24-2b of the Rules of Golf states that in such instances, the player is entitled to lift and clean the ball without penalty. However, a rules official determined that the object was outside the designated relief area and penalized Schauffele one stroke.

The controversial ruling sparked confusion and dissatisfaction, with many observers questioning its fairness. Schauffele was visibly frustrated and the incident seemed to affect his play, as he bogeyed the hole. The setback dropped Schauffele down the leaderboard, but he remains in contention for a medal with the final round scheduled for Sunday.

This step drill is 1 key to Xander Schauffele’s improved driving stats

Xander Schauffele’s iron play has long been a strength, but after years of struggling with his driver, he’s developed a new tool to improve his driving stats: a step drill.

The step drill is a device that helps golfers find the correct angle of attack for their swing. Schauffele began using the drill in 2023, and he says it has helped him to shallow out his swing and make better contact with the ball.

The results have been evident in Schauffele’s stats. In 2022, he ranked 180th on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy. This year, he’s up to 12th. He’s also averaging over 10 yards more per drive.

Schauffele’s improvement is a testament to the power of a simple drill. If you’re struggling with your driving, it’s worth giving the step drill a try.
