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.

2 Simple Keys to Hitting a High, Soft Bunker Shot

The beauty of the high, soft bunker shot is that it’s a lot easier to pull off than most golfers think. Here are two simple keys to hitting one:

  1. Stay down and through. Most amateurs tend to pop up on these shots, which causes the ball to balloon and land hard. To avoid this, make a conscious effort to stay down and through the shot, as if you were hitting a pitch shot off a tight lie.
  1. Open the clubface. Another common mistake is not opening the clubface enough. With a high, soft bunker shot, you want the clubface to be pointing slightly to the sky at impact. This will help the ball to get up and down quickly, with plenty of spin.
