Scheffler's Frustration Grows as Runner-Up Finishes Mount
Scottie Scheffler's season has been marked by near misses and frustration. The World No. 1 has recorded five runner-up finishes, but only one win at The American Express in January. This record is below expectations for a player of his caliber.
Amanda Balionis, a broadcaster who has interviewed Scheffler several times, recently broke her silence on his performance. She noted that Scheffler is 'one of the most competitive guys on the planet,' and that it's 'not sitting well with him' to have come so close to victory but only achieve one win.
Scheffler entered the FedEx St. Jude Championship in a strong position, having carded a 68 in the opening round and a record-setting 61 in the second. He took over the lead and seemed poised to secure his second victory of the season.
