BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler Loses It After Missed Green

Scottie Scheffler has played far below his expectations at the BMW Championship so far. After 36 holes, the leader of the FedExCup ranking is only tied 29th. During the second round at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado, the otherwise calm and controlled world number one showed an unusually emotional side. The normally level-headed Texan had a moment on Friday that many amateur golfers know only too well: Frustration after a failed shot.

Scottie Scheffler Freaks Out After Hitting the Water at the BMW Championship

After a solid start to the round, with a front nine one under par, Scheffler seemed to be on course. But there was a scene on the par-4 10th that quickly made the rounds on social media. Scheffler sent his tee shot 335 meters into the right rough, leaving him with a difficult approach shot over a water hazard. The attempt to reach the green failed and the ball landed in the water. On his next attempt to reach the green, this time from the drop zone about 90 meters from the flag, the situation got out of hand. His wedge shot missed the green, which visibly infuriated the otherwise so controlled professional. “Isn’t that uphill?” Scheffler asked loudly, while his caddie, Ted Scott, walked on silently. But the outburst didn’t end there: “How? HOW?” Scheffler repeated several times. “How is that possible? What the f*ck! That’s impossible!”

The following putt from around seven meters was solid, but Scheffler still had to settle for a double bogey – his worst result of the day. At the end of the round, his score was even-par 72, which dropped him to T29 in the tournament, twelve strokes behind the leader Adam Scott. However, Scheffler does not have to worry about his lead in the season rankings just yet. On the one hand, his lead is enormous and on the other, his closest rival Xander Schauffele has not performed brilliantly in Castle Rock so far.

Scottie Scheffler dealt with back problems during the first round of the BMW Championship on the PGA Tour. After a high draw on the Par-5 17th, Scheffler grabbed his back seemingly in pain. In the post-round interview, the Masters champion spoke about the back issues.

Scottie Scheffler: “I was laboring most of the day to get through the ball”

“With it [back] being a little bit tight, it was hard for me to get through it, and I was laboring most of the day to get through the ball. On 17 I was trying to hit a high draw, and that’s a shot where I’ve really got to use a big turn, big motion. Really just felt it a little bit. But other than that, all good. Maybe I hit a few too many balls yesterday or something. It was just a little sore. I’m sure I’ll get some ice on it and stuff and I’ll be totally fine tomorrow.”

Bad ball-striking perfomance from Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler leads the Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green for the season. In the first round of the BMW Championship though, he lost strokes to the field in SG: Tee-to-Green. This time his putting, which is normally Schefflers weak spot, saved his round. He holed over 100 feet of putts.

Jon Rahm: “They just Make something Up”

Just under a week ago, US golf journalist Jaime Diaz fueled the rumor mill surrounding Jon Rahm. In a lengthy Golf Digest article, Diaz cited an alleged statement from an unnamed “veteran tour insider” who said of Rahm: “I am 100 percent positive that if Jon could give the money back to the Saudis and come back to the tour, he couldn’t write the check fast enough. Now there are only four times a year when he’s playing that anybody is remotely interested. He thought his stature in the game was secure no matter where he was playing, and it was a bad miscalculation”. During a rain delay at the LIV event at Greenbrier last weekend, Rahm was confronted with the statement and asked for a reaction, according to the X account “Pro Golf Critic”. A video recording of Rahm’s reaction does not exist, so it is not 100 percent verifiable whether he really reacted as follows.

Jon Rahm: “Couldn’t be further from the truth”

The Spaniard responded: “Yeah that’s why I can’t stop smiling out here. They just make something up.[The claim of the insider] Couldn’t be further from the truth”. The two-time major champion’s answer – if it was really given – can now be believed or not. To realize that the alleged claim of the “veteran tour insider” may not be completely out of thin air, you only need to recall a few of Jon Rahm’s statements during 2024.

Here are three statements made by the 29-year-old during the season: “Not being there was difficult. It’s a decision I made, and I’m comfortable with it. […] But I hope I can come back”. That is a statement made by Rahm at the beginning of 2024, when talking about the three PGA Tour tournaments he was not allowed to defend due to his defection to LIV. With regard to a change in the LIV format from 54- to 72-hole tournaments, he made the following comments in April: “The closer we can get LIV to do some of these things, the better”. In the run-up to the 2024 PGA Championship, the former Masters champion caused a stir when he said the following: “I’m still a PGA Tour member, whether suspended or not & I still want to support the PGA Tour”.

Hideki Matsuyama’s golf bag this week is not being carried by his regular caddie Shota Hayafuji, who had to return to Japan due to a stolen passport, but by Taiga Tabuchi, Ryo Hisatsune’s actual caddie. Thanks to the quick replacement, Matsuyama doesn’t have to lug his Srixon, TaylorMade and Cobra equipment around the TPC Southwind himself and even changes his putter at the last minute before the tournament.

PGA Tour live

Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.
