Scottie Scheffler produced a career-low round at the Masters on Saturday, but hit back at a reporter who asked him a “terrible question” moments after carding a 65.<\/p>\n
Moments after Scheffler’s media session commenced, he faced an awkward opening question. “That was a 65 today. What did it feel like it could have or should have been?” the reporter asked.<\/p>\n
“That’s just a terrible question. Next question. Awful,” he replied, before laughing in disbelief.<\/p>\n
Another reporter then intervened and asked: “What enabled you to go low today as compared to maybe the last couple of days?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I hit it really nice today,” Scheffler said. “I felt like I was very sharp with the irons. Got it up there. Gave myself a lot of opportunities. I felt like I took advantage of those on the front nine, and then back nine, I did a lot of good things.<\/p>\n
“Was really, really close to seeing a lot go in. Trying to think. It’s, like, hit two good shots into 10, a really nice putt, just breaks a little bit more. Birdied 11. Good things on 12. Hit the fairway on 13. Get a mud ball. Didn’t hit what I felt like was a good bunker shot, and 14 was another good putt, and 15, like, ball just barely goes further.<\/p>\n
“Get a little gust downwind, and fortunately, today it didn’t go all the way into the hazard, but still left me with a pretty difficult pitch. But like I said, I did what I needed to do. Went out and executed to give myself some opportunities, and more of that tomorrow, and I think I’ll be in a good spot.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler produced a career-low round at the Masters on Saturday, but hit back at a reporter who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":889107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4106],"tags":[4285,114278,2826,4365,4284,4287,79,4364,16,15],"class_list":["post-889106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-augusta-national","tag-cameron-young","tag-golf","tag-golf-section","tag-masters-tournament","tag-rory-mcilroy","tag-sports","tag-the-masters-golf","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116391975821955864","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
