The news of golf legend Scottie Schefler’s divorce from his wife has been revealed, and it is a tragic occurrence. It was reported that…
Scottie Scheffler has stated that he is completely fine after struggling with back tightness during the initial round of BMW Championship.
Scheffler displayed clear discomfort as he hit his second shot on the par-4 17th at Castle Pines Golf Club, wincing and clutching his back. Although in pain, Scheffler claimed that he was not overly concerned about it since he had woken up with soreness; thus did not plan to take extra measures beyond his usual post-round treatment for recovery.
Scheffler expressed his difficulty with the tightness of the ball, which made it a challenge for him to get through. He struggled throughout most of the day as he played. During hole 17, Scheffler attempted to hit a high draw shot that required significant turning and motion; however, due to feeling some discomfort from the ball’s tightness in this instance alone, but other than that everything was fine.
It’s possible that I played too much yesterday, causing some discomfort. However, with a bit of ice and rest today, I’m confident that my condition will improve by tomorrow.
On Thursday, Scheffler was not displaying his typical exceptional ball-striking skills. Even though he has been leading in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green this season, he fell behind the competition during the first round. However, his putting game served him well as he managed to sink 107 feet worth of putts. A crucial moment for him came on hole 15 when he made a bogey putt from 25-feet away after landing his approach shot in water hazards nearby. Impressively enough, all three birdies that afternoon were scored outside ten-foot range.
It’s possible that Scheffler’s soreness affected his performance during the round, although he has faced similar problems in the past and still played strongly. At THE PLAYERS Championship earlier this year, he struggled with a neck injury and confessed to not performing at his best. Despite this setback, though, he managed to shoot an impressive 64 on the final day of play and secure victory for a second consecutive year.
After fighting back tightness in the first round of BMW Championship, Scottie Scheffler assures that he’s “all good”.
After striking his second shot on the par-4 17th at Castle Pines Golf Club, Scheffler flinched and grasped his back in evident agony. The discomfort was plainly apparent to all. Nonetheless, Scheffler remarked that he had awoken with general soreness earlier in the day and didn’t seem excessively worried about it. He intended to perform standard post-round therapy without anticipation of implementing any supplementary recovery strategies whatsoever.
Scheffler explained that the tightness made it difficult for him to get through, causing him to exert effort throughout the day just to hit the ball. During hole 17, he attempted a shot requiring a high draw and large motion, but felt some discomfort due to his condition. Nonetheless, aside from these instances, everything else was fine.
“It’s possible that I hit too many balls yesterday which caused a slight soreness. However, with some ice and proper care, I’m confident it will be completely fine by tomorrow.”
On Thursday, Scheffler’s typically impressive ball-striking skills were nonexistent. Despite being the leading player in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green this season, he fell behind his competitors during the first round. However, thanks to a solid putting display that saw him sink putts from 107 feet away, he was able to stay on track. A pivotal moment came when he drained a challenging bogey putt of 25-feet length after hitting his approach shot into the water hazard at hole #15; all three birdies resulted from putts beyond ten feet range.
It is possible that Scheffler’s soreness affected his performance, but he has faced similar problems before and performed admirably. Previously at THE PLAYERS Championship this year, Scheffler struggled with a neck injury which made him feel like he was merely “slapping it around out there.” Despite these setbacks, during the final round of the tournament, he shot an impressive 64 to take home his second consecutive title.
Scottie Scheffler reassures that he’s “completely fine” despite struggling with tightness in his back during the opening round of BMW Championship.
After making his second shot on the par-4 17th at Castle Pines Golf Club, Scheffler winced and clutched his back in agony – a clear indication of the discomfort he was experiencing. Despite waking up sore that day, however, Scheffler seemed unconcerned about it and stated that he would simply go through with his usual post-round treatment without any additional recovery work needed.
Scheffler explained that due to the course being somewhat constricted, he struggled throughout the day to get through the ball. He particularly felt it on hole 17 when attempting a high draw shot which required an extensive turn and motion. Nevertheless, aside from those moments, everything else was fine for him.
Perhaps I played an excess of balls yesterday, causing a slight soreness. However, after applying some ice and remedies tonight, I anticipate feeling completely better tomorrow.
On Thursday, Scheffler failed to display his typical superb ball-striking abilities. Though he had been dominating in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green this year, he lost strokes compared to the rest of the field during Round 1. However, a successful putting performance boosted him up as he sank putts totaling 107 feet throughout the day. He notably saved himself on hole 15 with an essential bogey putt from about 25 feet away following a missed approach over water hazards and managed three birdies all beyond ten feet distance from their respective holes.
There is a question of whether the soreness affected Scheffler’s performance, but he has faced comparable problems before.
