Scottie Scheffler\u2019s trusted caddie Ted Scott stepped away from his man during the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship two weeks ago and was missing again last week during Scheffler\u2019s victory at the BMW Championship.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, during what he\u2019s called his Sunday Sermon on Instagram, Scott shed more light on what it was that kept him from being able to caddie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of you know that I left the St. Jude Classic early and didn\u2019t caddie on Sunday. Why? Because we had a devastating family emergency, probably the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever walked through in my entire life,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are some things that God has taught me through all of this? Things that can help you? First of all, we\u2019re helpless. I truly can\u2019t help the situation, watching my family grieve, watching the person that was injured. It\u2019s just really difficult to go through. And I\u2019m helpless, but I\u2019m not hopeless.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t understand what happened, I can\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on, but I am starting to find peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
The injury happened to Scott\u2019s 10-year-old nephew Joel. It is not clear what happened or how he is doing now. Players at East Lake were wearing yellow ribbons to support Scott and his family.<\/p>\n
Scheffler shot a final-round 68 to tie for fourth place during another historic, five-win season that included two major championship titles.<\/p>\n
