Scheffler’s first two rounds at The Players Championship were both really hard work, and he did well to grind it out and make the cut in the end. The 29-year-old struggled desperately with his driver, while his iron play was not up to scratch by his standards. Scheffler’s swing was unrecognizable during the first two days at The Players and it’s fair to say that he looked completely lost out on the golf course.
However, Scheffler managed to turn things around on day three at The Players Championship . The man from Dallas, Texas, shot a bogey-free round of 67 and he looked much more like his old self, albeit not quite at his very best. Scottie Scheffler’s response when asked if he can still win The Players At the time of writing, Scheffler is sitting seven shots adrift of the leader, Ludvig Aberg, who has only played seven holes of his third round.
