Scottie Scheffler breaks down ‘terrible’ hole at Memorial Tournament
Scottie Scheffler was left frustrated after hitting a rare double-bogey in the second round of the Memorial Tournament
Scottie Scheffler expressed his vexation after carding a rare double-bogey during the Memorial Tournament’s second round, acknowledging the “challenging” conditions at Muirfield Village on Friday.
The 28 year old is hot on the heels of the leaders at the Memorial Tournament, an event presided over by golf icon Jack Nicklaus, who this week voiced his disapproval of on-course interviews in an unusual display of frustration. Post-round on Friday, Scheffler was candid with the press about his feelings.
Fresh from a major victory at the PGA Championship and renowned for his steady play, it came as a surprise when Scheffler stumbled on the 10th, finishing two-over-par. He shared his thoughts on the mishap.
Just a terrible lie,” Scheffler remarked, blaming his tee shot for the trouble he faced. “If there was more rough in front of me, I would have maybe tried to hit, like, an 8-iron or something, hack it down the fairway, but it felt like it was worth the risk to try and pop it out of there with the 5-wood.
“The worst that was going to happen was the ball was going to end up where it did,” he conceded. When probed about the overall playing conditions at Muirfield Village, Scheffler added, “Yeah, I mean, the golf course is playing really long. It’s a very challenging golf course.”
“When the rough gets this wet, any time you hit it in the rough, the lies are going to be really bad and it’s going to be really challenging. So it’s definitely important to keep the ball in play and try and stay dry.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
