Scottie Scheffler experienced a rare moment during the third round of the Tour Championship.<\/p>\n
It is not often people confuse the name of world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler<\/a>, but the third round of the Tour Championship<\/a> featured a lot of rarities. Heavy Sports has been at East Lake throughout the Tour Championship as Scheffler continues to be the main attraction for fans.<\/p>\n Despite Scheffler\u2019s historic performance in 2025, the star golfer may not be on everyone\u2019s radar. The starter announced Scheffler as \u201cScottie Schotler\u201d moments before the superstar began his third round at East Lake.<\/p>\n Scheffler was asked if he felt \u201crattled\u201d by the embarrassing moment, but the humble star did not appear too concerned.<\/p>\n \u201cGosh no,\u201d Scheffler told reporters<\/a> when asked if he was impacted by the embarrassing moment.<\/p>\n Scheffler admitted that he did hear the starter mispronounce his name to start the day.<\/p>\n \u201cDid you hear the starter phonetically incorrectly pronounce your name?\u201d a reporter asked Scheffler on August 23, 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I did,\u201d Scheffler reacted.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to know about Scheffler\u2019s quest to win another Tour Championship.<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler on Mixing up His Name: \u2018People Used to Call Me Xander\u2019<\/p>\n It apparently is not the first time Scheffler has been confused for another name during PGA Tour events. Scheffler admitted that sometimes people confuse him with fellow golfer Xander Schauffele.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like I have for sure,\u201d Scheffler explained<\/a> to reporters when asked about having his name mixed up before. \u201c\u2026 Yeah, people used to call me Xander. Just par for the course there.\u201d<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler on Third Round Performance at Tour Championship: \u2018Felt Like Another Frustrating Day\u2019<\/p>\n Scheffler has some ground to make up in order to win his second straight Tour Championship. Heading into the final round, Scheffler is four strokes back from co-leaders Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Cantlay.<\/p>\n Scheffler shot an impressive 66 in the third round, but the star\u2019s putting struggles cost him a few spots on the Tour Championship leaderboard<\/a>. Despite the solid round, Scheffler admitted to being frustrated heading into Sunday.<\/p>\n \u201cFelt like another frustrating day,\u201d Scheffler admitted during his August 23, media session following the third round. \u201cI felt like I did some things well out there. I was just a little bit off on my reads most of the day. I hit some good putts that just didn\u2019t fall.<\/p>\n \u201cLike you said, after the start I did a good job bouncing back and getting back into it. Overall I didn\u2019t shoot myself out of the tournament, which making bogeys around this place can very easily do that. Proud of the turnaround, but man, I wish I could have gotten a little bit more out of the round.\u201d<\/p>\n Tommy Fleetwood on Attempting to Score His First PGA Tour Win: \u2018Make Sure I\u2019m Telling Myself All the Right Things\u2019<\/p>\n Scheffler will have to contend with a motivated Fleetwood, who is searching for his first PGA Tour win. Fleetwood has gained steam as the Tour Championship has gone on. Heading into the final round, the veteran golfer expanded on his philosophy of being his \u201cown best friend\u201d on the course.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve caddied for my kids, and I know what I would say to them, and I think it\u2019s all about being very clear with what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Fleetwood told reporters<\/a> on August 23. \u201cHaving a great attitude, having a great frame of mind, make sure I\u2019m telling myself all the right things and just commit to those things.<\/p>\n \u201cLike I just said, there\u2019s only 30 players this week. It could be 100, 150, whatever it is tees Sunday and in contention. That\u2019s what everybody wants.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJonathan Adams<\/a> is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
