according to Golf Channel\u2019s Todd Lewis<\/a>. In stepped Brad Payne, the PGA Tour chaplain, who departed Dallas and arrived in Memphis around 2 a.m. local time.<\/p>\nThis was Payne\u2019s second time on Scheffler\u2019s bag in a PGA Tour event, as he also looped on Saturday of last year\u2019s PGA Championship because Scott was home attending his daughter\u2019s high-school graduation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a lot different not having Teddy out there,\u201d Scheffler told Lewis after his round. \u201cAnd obviously, our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family right now. You know, he\u2019s a great friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was definitely interesting not having him out there on the bag today, but he\u2019s where he\u2019s supposed to be. He\u2019s at home with his family, and we\u2019re all thinking about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheffler birdied two of his last three holes Sunday, though ultimately ended at 15 under, a shot out of the playoff between J.J. Spaun and Justin Rose. Putting, where he lost 1.3 strokes to the field in the final round, cost him a shot at his fifth title of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid a lot of good stuff, fought pretty hard most of the week,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cLike I said, today was a day where I executed really well, hit my lines on the greens, hit a lot of good shots going into the greens. Just ball wasn\u2019t going in. Just a little bit off, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was no official word, according to Lewis, as to who would caddie for Scheffler in the BMW Championship, which begins Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With a fill-in caddie, Scottie Scheffler capped his FedEx St. Jude Championship with a 3-under 67 to tie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-74184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74184","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=74184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
