Scheffler's Slam: 65 at Masters Sparks Reporter Clash
13 Apr
Summary
- Scottie Scheffler shot a seven-under 65, his best Masters round.
- He expressed frustration with a reporter's question about his round.
- Scheffler is within striking distance for the final round at Augusta.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler achieved his best-ever Masters round with a seven-under 65 on Saturday at Augusta National. This stunning performance placed him at seven under for the tournament, positioning him to contend in the final round. The round included an eagle on the second hole and five birdies, with no bogeys on a calm day.
Following his exceptional play, Scheffler reacted sharply to a reporter's question about whether his 65 could have been lower. He initially called the question "terrible" before softening his stance, acknowledging he had missed some opportunities. This blunt reaction is characteristic of Scheffler when he feels questioned unfairly, even on days of remarkable golf.
Scheffler now trails the leaders by four shots, offering him a genuine chance to win. His precise iron play demonstrated why he remains a significant threat in major championships. If he maintains this control in the final round, the pressure will shift, and his brief exchange with the reporter may become a mere footnote to a potential Masters victory.
