Scottie Scheffler stormed back into Masters contention<\/a> on Saturday with a big 7-under 65 during the third round, leaving him four shots back of leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So when he was asked what he felt like the round \u201ccould have or should have been,\u201d the two-time green jacket winner may have been caught off guard. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just a terrible question. Next question. Awful,\u201d Scheffler shot back at Jason Sobel of SiriusXM and CBS Sports before letting out a laugh.<\/p>\n

Reporter: \u201cThat was a 65 today. What did it feel like it could have or should have been?\u201d<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler: \u201cThat’s a terrible question. Next question. Awful.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Golf Channel<\/a>, Scheffler later apologized and said the question \u201cwasn\u2019t that bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a fan asked if Sobel considered that maybe Scheffler doesn\u2019t like him, Sobel replied<\/a>, \u201cWe\u2019ve always gotten along well and he answered my next question a minute later, so\u2026 no.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffler\u2019s own words about his third round give credence to the question. Scheffler mentioned a couple of issues he dealt with on the back nine and then said, \u201cit wasn\u2019t maybe that bad, but it definitely could have been lower,\u201d according to Sobel.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Scheffler also told CBS\u2019s Amanda Balionis in a TV interview that he felt like he \u201cleft a few shots out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffler, who is at the Masters with wife Meredith and their sons Bennett and newborn Remy<\/a>, is 7-under overall with Young and McIlroy each at 11-under. Scheffler is set to tee off with Haotong Li at 1:52 p.m. ET, with the final pairing of Young and McIlroy set to tee off at 2:25 p.m.<\/p>\n
