“Started focusing a little bit harder, and then I just started hitting good shots. I still didn’t feel super comfortable over the ball, but I hit a lot more fairways than I did yesterday, and I was able to hit some iron shots and make a few putts.”

Meanwhile, even though Scheffler said he got mad, it wasn’t like he was snapping the clubs. He looked composed outside, even though he says there was frustration inside his mind. More importantly, he made sure that he uses this frustration and anger in the right way and turned the negative emotion into positive. 

“I mean, I think anger can go a few ways on the golf course,” he said. “You can use it and get even more frustrated and more pissed off, and you start thinking negatively. I used that anger today as a positive.”

Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler is currently at T4 going into the weekend. He is currently just four strokes behind the leader, Martin Trainer, who leads the event with a score of -10.
