It was a rocky finish for Scottie Scheffler on Saturday at The American Express – literally.
Tied for the lead on the 18th tee at PGA West’s Stadium Course, Scheffler decided to hit 3-wood but turned it over too much, his ball seemingly destined for a watery grave. However, Scheffler’s ball took a couple of fortunate bounces off the rocks and ended up in the center of the fairway, about 174 yards from the hole and 266 yards from the tee box at the par-4 finishing hole.
“I was just trying to hit a little draw 3-wood and I drew it a lot,” said Scheffler, laughing.
