Scottie Scheffler’s Actions on PGA Tour Catch Attention

Fans lit up the comments section in response to the unbelievable save:

This fan was impressed: "Wow par from the forest what a play."

"Big shot." this fan mentioned

This fan exclaimed:  "Nah this dude isn’t human."

A big golf fan explained the shot: "This clip goes to show how repeatedly Scottie squares the club face at contact, no matter how troublesome the lie."

More praise here: "One of MANY reasons why he is World #1...!!."

"No. 1 in the world for a reason. Dude is incredible." mentioned this fan.

It happened on hole No. 7. Scheffler was 3-under on the day when his tee shot veered far left into a thick native area. At 143 yards out, most expected him to punch back into the fairway. Instead, he took a bold approach, aiming straight for the green.

From a tricky lie, Scheffler launched a high shot that settled just 14 feet from the pin. While his birdie putt came up four inches short, the par save was electric.

"It was kind of an interesting one because the lie at first looked bad, and the more we got in there and looked at it, the kind of more options that came about,” Scheffler explained. “The grass was more airy than it was thick. For me to go back to the fairway, there was kind of a bush behind my ball and on that side of the ball, so I felt like it was actually safest to go to the green.

Scheffler is coming off a win at the PGA Championship earlier this month, putting him halfway to a career Grand Slam. He also won the Masters in 2022 and 2024. His best finish at the U.S. Open was second in 2022. He placed tied for seventh at the 2024 Open Championship.

The next major on the calendar is the U.S. Open, set for June 12–15 at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
