Playing the par-3 ninth hole, Scheffler’s drive wasn’t particularly impressive as he landed 72 feet away from the hole. Somehow, he then managed to get his next shot within 5 and a half feet of the cup. He was looking at an easy par, clearly. He took a stance. hit the ball, but it trimmed past the left of the cup and rolled 19 inches away from it. This was enough to send him off the edge.

After finishing with the bogey, Scheffler couldn’t believe what had just happened. He was visibly frustrated and then started walking towards his caddie, saying, “I don’t know what is happening.” He then continued to complain to Ted, with even him looking extremely disappointed.

Even the commentators shared the same views.

“Ted Scott’s ears will be bleeding at the end of the day,” said another.

This was not the first time this year he had gotten angry on the course after missing a close putt. At the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational, he threw his ball into the water on the second day after he missed the par putt and bogeyed the 18th. He then aggressively vented to Ted Scott, complaining about the “dead” green conditions.

Lately, Scheffler has been far more expressive on the course after things have failed to go his way.

Scottie Scheffler has not been able to maintain his composure recently

Scottie Scheffler losing his cool is not breaking news, really. The world #1 is known for having a temper that usually shows up when the golf course performs unexpectedly. In fact, he has thrown quite a few tantrums over it over the last year.

Playing the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, Scheffler was trying to find the green with his iron. While he did find the sweet spot on the green, what happened next wasn’t in his control. The ball rolled back quite far away from the cup due to the slope. Frustrated with the final result, he dug his iron into the fairway. That got a strong reaction from the netizens, who called him a “thug.”

That’s not the only time Scheffler was enraged. Playing the 2025 TOUR Championship, he had another instance of a bunker shot that went haywire. Still standing in the sand, he smashed his club once again. Only this time, it was far more aggressive than he was at Oakmont.
