World No.1 Scottie Scheffler unleashed a stunning rant directed at his caddie in all-time blow up at the PGA Tour’s The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Scheffler dumped his tee shot into the water left of the green on the par 3 16th and proceeded to unload on his long-time looper Ted Scott.

The usually mild-mannered four-time major champion lost the plot at the Jack Nicklaus founded course as he double bogeyed 16.

It followed dropped shots on 10 and 14, and Scheffler clearly had a lot of pent up frustration.

“I never thought that was the one. I don’t know what to do,” he said on the tee box towards his caddie.

“I can’t hear a word you’re saying.”

Scheffler then started to charge towards the drop zone, but did not stop venting.

“I felt like that was a good shot,” he said.

“It was a good shot,” Scott replied.

“Now I’m in the water because it came in out of the right,” Scheffler continued.

“Absolutely flushed a 7-iron and we get the wind wrong and I’m in the water.

“I don’t think you understand how frustrating that is.

“Like that was a good shot.

“Really was, flushed it, right on line. Wind turning out of the right. God, really.”

Scheffler then caught up with Scott, who had pushed ahead, and made sure the caddie, who won The Masters twice with Bubba Watson before linking up with Scheffler, heard his thoughts.

“I don’t understand what I’m meant to,” Scheffler said when he reached his bag.

“I don’t understand. I really don’t.

“Five yards short of the green because it’s into, off the right.

“Like there’s no way it could curve that much if the wind is helping.

“It’s so frustrating. I’ve lost a ball.

“I hit good shots and drop it from hazards. You cannot get the wind wrong.”

Scott has earned more than US$10 million since jumping on Scheffler’s bag in 2021.

The pair have famously had a close relationship.

Scheffler managed to respond on the next hole, however, with a chip-in birdie.

“Losing his mind on the previous green. Bunkered off the tee, makes birdie,” a commentator said.

A par at the last then ensured Scheffler finished one-over par for the opening round with a 73.

Post-round, the American opened up to the media about the incident on the 16th hole.

“That’s just another really good iron shot, and the wind switched from down off the right to pretty significantly in off the right,” he recalled.

“If it’s down off the right, that ball’s probably where I hit my wedge shot to. So just don’t really know what I’m supposed to do there outside of trying to hit a good shot, and then it’s frustrating when it doesn’t work out, especially when it doesn’t work out in that direction.

“I would rather get gusted in off the left, not in off the right there. All you can do is just try to hit good shots. It can be very frustrating sometimes when you feel like you’re hitting good shots and then you’re going to the drop zone.”

Once in the clubhouse, Scheffler was still left scratching his head after going from the low of the double bogey on 16 to the high of the chip-in birdie on 17.

“Got a good break there. That was fun. That was good,” he said.

“Good breaks are more fun than –that one — see, that’s the thing that can be so frustrating about golf is I striped one on the hole before that and I end up in the water. That one I kind of hit thin, and you get a good bounce and I end up on the fringe and I chip in.

“Look, it’s always a touch thin out of the bunker, but I was trying to hit it a little higher so I could hold the green. And then that one lands in the rough just over the bunker,

which is also dead, that bunker, and ended up chipping one in. So you’re just like, all right.

“Yeah, what a game. I felt like I didn’t get anything out of the round, all of a sudden you just get a lucky bounce and you’re like, okay, well, I’m going to try to smile, it’s still hard.”

Wyndham Clark, J.J. Spaun, Tommy Fleetwood and Ryan Gerard lead the way at five-under par in the US$20 million signature event hosted by Jack Nicklaus.

Adam Scott is the best of the Australians after an even par 72.

Jason Day shot 74, while Min Woo Lee struggled with a 75.

“I felt pretty decent out there. I’m just not quite happy with the swing right now,” Day said.

“I think I did a good job of hanging in there. Made an awful error on 6. I got a little bit of a bad break with the tee ball, even though I shouldn’t have been over there.

“Then I did the smart thing, chip out into a sand divot and then kind of hit it fat into the water. So it’s just hard because you’re standing there in the sand divot and you’re like, okay, if I just catch this clean and it goes too far, you might chip is back into the water coming back down in that rough.

“So you’re trying to do the best job of catching it clean and I just caught it heavy.”
