Scheffler streak of most consecutive rounds of par or better snapped<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler had gone 11 straight rounds at Augusta finishing at par or better.<\/p>\n
That streak snapped on Friday when Scheffler finished 2-over 74, his first over-par score at the Masters since a 75 in the second round in 2023. He sits T-23 on the leaderboard with about half of the field still on the course.<\/p>\n
Scheffler bogeyed on a pair of second nine par 5s (No. 13 and No. 15) during his second round which sent the two-time Masters winner tumbling down the leaderboard after finishing 2 under after the first 18 holes. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a hard shot for me, because where I hit my drive there, we caught that tee ball into the wind again, so as far as I can get it out there, there\u2019s still some trees in my way, so I kind of have to start on that bridge, but off the slope I felt like I could pretty easily draw it off,\u201d Scheffler explained about the breakdown on No. 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just tried to kind of swing it with the slope and just didn\u2019t catch it that solid and kind of hung out there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scheffler streak of most consecutive rounds of par or better snapped Scottie Scheffler had gone 11 straight rounds…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":{"0":"post-576713","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
