Scottie Scheffler Hits Into the Water. Then Comes some Words
Scheffler finished 1-over par and sat six shots off the lead after a double bogey on the 16th hole.
- On Thursday, Scottie Scheffler pulled a tee shot into the water on the 16th hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, visibly venting his frustrations to caddie Tedd Scott after the ball took an unfortunate bounce.
- Unpredictable winds and firm greens at the Memorial Tournament made club selection difficult, prompting Scheffler to lament, "I don't understand what I'm meant to do," after his flushed 7-iron still ended in the hazard.
- As he trailed Scott toward the drop zone, Scheffler continued venting, saying, "I feel like that was a good shot," while struggling to understand why clean contact wasn't producing better results.

- Seeking to defend the title he won last year, Scheffler faces a difficult 2026 campaign with only The American Express victory in January, leaving him six shots back entering Friday's play.
