I mean, it\u2019s frustrating. I didn\u2019t really feel like I did anything to put us behind on time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBob and I got warned on No. 9, and I felt like we did some pretty good stuff on 9, 10 and 11 and we somehow didn\u2019t gain a single second on pace of play. I\u2019m not really sure how that\u2019s possible.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>It was then put to Scheffler that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfinggazette.com\/tag\/ludvig-aberg\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ludvig Aberg<\/a>, who was playing in front of him, is a quick player.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler responded by saying: \u201cThey got put on the clock as well today. So I don\u2019t know how quick he was today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just one of those things where all of a sudden now I\u2019m punished for a rules decision I did not totally agree with, and then I can feel it gusting on 12, I can feel it gusting on 13, and there was nothing I can do about it; you\u2019ve got to get up there and hit the shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall I did what I could to keep us on pace, and hopefully we don\u2019t run into that situation tomorrow.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>What Scottie Scheffler has said about slow play previously<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler is fairly quick when he plays golf.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s fairly methodical on the greens but aside from that, he gets on with his job in a pretty brisk manner.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the US Open in June when rounds were taking nearly six hours to complete, Scheffler offered his take on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWhy do you think?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt long to me. Both the par-5s we basically walked up on the group in front of us. When it\u2019s up on No. 8 \u2014 you\u2019ve got a drivable par-4 on 17. (The long par-3 eighth hole) is basically a drivable par-4, too. You guys are the ones watching. I\u2019m just trying to play. I\u2019ve got too many concerns other than the pace it takes to get around this place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing into a golf course like this with this many players and this tough of a golf course, you know it\u2019s going to take a while. Look at the ground we\u2019ve got to cover out there to walk 18 holes. That\u2019s a big piece of property. It just takes time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler was clearly unhappy with the pace of play at Oakmont, but he understood why it happened.<\/p>\n<p>It just seemed like when Scheffler and MacIntyre were put on the clock at the BMW Championship on Saturday, it was a little harsh to say the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler was nowhere near his best on day three of the BMW Championship but as per usual,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[38825,49,48,622,15754,1974,82],"class_list":["post-76222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-bmw-championship","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-robert-macintyre","tag-scottie-scheffler","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
