"Arrr mateys! Hear ye, hear ye! Scottie Scheffler, the top dog of the golfing world, be sure to remember the day of Friday's round at the Travelers Championship for a good long while! 'Twas a moment so mortifying, ye can bet ye boots he'll be shiverin' in his britches at the mere thought of it!"
Avast ye mateys! The top-ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, put on a solid display at TPC River Highlands, shooting even par with two birdies and two bogeys to stay in the running at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. However, the 27-year-old had an embarrassing moment when his own golf club smacked him in the face after he hit a tee shot. The PGA Tour's Twitter account joked that golf is a contact sport. Despite the thud, Scheffler did not appear to suffer any major injuries. This serves as a reminder that even skilled golf pros can have embarrassing moments like amateur golfers. Nonetheless, Scheffler is currently in the top 20 and tied for 18th with a score of 7-under after two rounds of play. Arr mateys, who knows if this was a dose of karma for Scheffler's casual tossing of his driver at the U.S. Open days ago, or just a pirate's misfortune. Earlier in the day, Scheffler had the pleasure of meeting U.S. men's national team captain Tyler Adams. So whether ye be a seasoned golfer or a landlubber, always remember that golf can be a contact sport, and even the best can have their moments of embarrassment.
