Scheffler was swinging the golf club superbly well ahead of The Memorial<\/a>, but that didn\u2019t translate out onto the golf course.<\/p>\nThe 29-year-old world number one\u2019s temper got the better of him out on the golf course on Thursday, and his caddie bore the brunt of his frustrations.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler speaks after snapping at his caddie at The Memorial<\/p>\n
Scheffler found the water with his tee shot on the 16th hole and he was visibly stunned by the error he just made.<\/p>\n

However, the Dallas native seemed to blame Ted Scott for getting the wind direction wrong.<\/p>\n
Scheffler berated Scott during the entire walk up to the green and carried on after he holed out for his double bogey.<\/p>\n

After his round, Scheffler responded to questions about what happened on the 16th.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s just another really good iron shot, and the wind switched from down off the right to pretty significantly in off the right,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s down off the right, that ball\u2019s probably where I hit my wedge shot to. So just don\u2019t really know what I\u2019m supposed to do there outside of trying to hit a good shot, and then it\u2019s frustrating when it doesn\u2019t work out, especially when it doesn\u2019t work out in that direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would rather get gusted in off the left, not in off the right there. All you can do is just try to hit good shots. It can be very frustrating sometimes when you feel like you\u2019re hitting good shots and then you\u2019re going to the drop zone.\u201c<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old is obviously not used to hitting many bad golf shots.<\/p>\n
And while his tee shot on 16 wasn\u2019t a poorly struck shot, he definitely started it on the wrong line.<\/p>\n
If the 20-time PGA Tour winner was under par standing on that tee, he would have unquestionably aimed 30 feet right and he wouldn\u2019t have even been close to the water.<\/p>\n
Maybe Scottie Scheffler needed to let his anger out<\/p>\n
Scheffler\u2019s behavior on the 16th hole on Thursday at The Memorial was very poor to say the least.<\/p>\n

That said, the most elite athletes in all sports almost always have that edge \u2013 it is what makes them so good in the first place.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler is one of the most competitive sportsmen on the planet, if not the most competitive.<\/p>\n
Sometimes his anger gets the better of him, but we don\u2019t see it that often because he has been so consistently good over the past few years.<\/p>\n
Scheffler won\u2019t be proud of his actions on Thursday at Muirfield Village, but maybe letting all of his frustration out will serve him well moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler caused real controversy on day one of The Memorial Tournament when he snapped at his caddie,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,296268,296269,5758,99,52211],"class_list":["post-685593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-memorial-tournament","tag-muirfield-village","tag-scottie-scheffler","tag-sports","tag-ted-scott"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685593","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=685593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
