Fore Play Podcast<\/a>, Kisner offered a player\u2019s perspective on the viral moment and explained why he understands Scheffler\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\nKevin Kisner Explains Why Scottie Scheffler Lost His Composure<\/p>\n
Kisner said golfers at the highest level invest tremendous amounts of time and energy into every shot. When a carefully planned shot produces a disastrous result, emotions can take over.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, I could go on this for hours. I\u2019ve got so many stories and instances and things that have been said,\u201d Kisner said.<\/p>\n
He urged fans to consider the situation from Scheffler\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019ve got to put yourself in Scottie\u2019s shoes, right?\u201d Kisner explained.<\/p>\n
According to Kisner, Scheffler likely believed he had executed the shot exactly as intended.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is doing everything that he possibly can to hit a great golf shot, and he thinks he\u2019s pulled it off and now he\u2019s playing three from 150 yards,\u201d Kisner said.<\/p>\n
The former Ryder Cup competitor described the feeling as mentally overwhelming.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just your mind is so jumbled at that moment in time,\u201d Kisner added.<\/p>\n
Kisner noted that golfers often struggle to understand failure when they feel they followed the correct process. In those moments, frustration can surface before logic has a chance to catch up.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t process what just happened because you stood over this tee shot, you had a great game plan with your teammate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kisner also stressed that the player-caddie relationship is built on trust. That trust can be tested during difficult moments, but it remains a crucial part of success.<\/p>\n
He recalled advice from his own caddie that helped keep situations in perspective.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my favorite things that my caddie always told me was, \u2018it\u2019s not in my best interest to f\u2014 you,’\u201d Kisner said.<\/p>\n
The comment highlighted a simple reality. Caddies want the same outcome as their players. When a shot goes wrong, both parties suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n
Golf\u2019s Unpredictable Nature Creates Emotional Moments<\/p>\n
Kisner also pointed to one factor that often gets overlooked in situations like the one involving Scheffler and Scott.<\/p>\n
Golf is played outdoors, and conditions can change instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it\u2019s an outdoor sport, man. There are variables,\u201d Kisner said.<\/p>\n
He suggested that wind conditions may have changed after Scheffler struck the shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike the wind could pick up. How does he not know that they had the wind right when he struck it and wrong in the three-second flight?\u201d Kisner asked.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old emphasized that players cannot control every element once the ball leaves the clubface.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no idea if God swooped down and made the wind blow nine miles an hour harder in that three seconds to make that ball go into the water.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kisner acknowledged that Scheffler\u2019s reaction was emotional.<\/p>\n
However, he viewed it as the response of a fiercely competitive athlete rather than evidence of a damaged relationship with his caddie.<\/p>\n
That assessment appears accurate.<\/p>\n
Scheffler and Scott quickly moved forward after the incident and continued working together throughout the remainder of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Their partnership remains one of the most successful in professional golf, and Kisner\u2019s comments suggest that moments like these are far more common behind the scenes than most fans realize.<\/p>\n
