Top players as such Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, Sam Burns, Viktor Hovland, and others along with their respective caddies, are sweating it out at the ground for the whopping prize money.

And from the grounds of the challenge, a video has surfaced that shows a rough moment between Scottie Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott, and the 26-year-old PGA Pro, Sam Burns. Both Scheffler and Burns are worthy opponents that have faced each other multiple times. Sam even beat Scheffler at last year’s Colonial match.

But one must commend the alert and sharp sense of Scott as he is seen stopping the ball speeding in his direction with his hands, and throwing it on the ground. All of this in less than a few seconds and without any warning. It just goes on to show how he has managed to caddie with the PGA Tour for 24 years.  Scottie Scheffler, who was walking beside Ted asked the camera guy laughing -“Did you catch it?”  The video caption justified the fun – “Ted Scott needs to keep his head on a swivel when Sam Burns is around 😅”
