Chasing the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson title, trying to defend the title, and looking to match Tiger Woods<\/a>\u2018 feat, Scottie Scheffler<\/a> is under a lot of pressure. And the fact that he\u2019s a few strokes away from the top of the leaderboard is not helping him in any way. Hitting a poor drive at such a critical moment got him frustrated. So he expressed himself in the only way he knows.<\/p>\n

Scheffler\u2019s drive on the 487-yard par-4 13th hole went far too left for what he would have hoped for. So much so that he would have had to hit his approach shot from close to the dried grass outside the left rough region. Furious with the poorly directed stroke, the #1 dug his driver into the grass in the tee zone. After the initial double-handed hammer swing, he had another swipe at the grass with his left hand before walking out of the area.<\/p>\n

After 15 holes, he is sitting at 24-under par, four strokes behind Wyndham Clark. The #1 will need to put in a mammoth effort in the next three holes and hope that Clark and Si Woo Kim make a lot of mistakes for him to win.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, this isn\u2019t the first time Scheffler has lost his cool after a wayward shot. At the US Open 2025, he smashed his wedge on the 14th green when his approach shot wasn\u2019t up to the mark, and the ball kept spinning and settled 40 feet from the hole. He then did something similar during the 2025 TOUR Championship. He smashed his club into the sand<\/a> after a poor wedge shot at East Lake. In more recent outbursts, at the API, after a bogey on the 18th on Friday, he threw his ball in the water out of frustration.<\/p>\n

The #1 is usually a guy with a calm demeanor on the course, but time and again, he has clarified that he cares deeply about execution, and dealing with bad breaks brings out high emotions.<\/p>\n

So yeah, for passion, Scheffler may have made it a habit of losing his cool on the course, but the fans will never get used to seeing him throw a tantrum on the course. And they were just as enraged this time with his actions as they had been with his previous misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Netizens find Scottie Scheffler\u2019s behavior at TPC Craig Ranch unacceptable<\/h2>\n

One of them said, \u201cScottie is COOKED.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffler was out of contention from the event as soon as Wyndham Clark scored an eagle on the 12th hole. After that, it was a very tall mountain the #1 had to climb to chase down the 2023 U.S. Open winner.<\/p>\n

Another wrote, \u201cPeople are asking \u2018 what\u2019s wrong with Scottie?\u2019NOTHING. He\u2019s 25 under par. He\u2019s behind two guys today who are a combined 56 under par.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Scheffler was struggling on the 13th hole, Si Woo Kim and Clark were running away with the lead at the top of the board. It was a two-man race for the title, and Scheffler was upset that his 25-under-par wasn\u2019t enough to get an invitation to the party. Also, TPC features reachable par 5s and generally rewards aggressive play, so one can expect endless birdies.<\/p>\n

Someone else also said, \u201cThis is when I knew it was over for Scottie. Frustration started to show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffler showed similar behavior during the inaugural Cadillac Championship in early May as well. Having already lost the tournament, he was seen complaining to Ted Scott about missing a short putt<\/a> at Trump National Doral.<\/p>\n

Looking at his form, one fan had anticipated, \u201cScottie Scheffler won\u2019t win this year, I said the same thing a couple months ago. The dude is washed and his 15 minutes is up.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he started the 2026 season with a win in the American Express, Scheffler\u2019s form has been quite wayward ever since. He got three consecutive runner-up finishes recently before finishing T14 in the PGA Championship. Now, a third-place finish at TPC Craig Ranch will prove to be another failure in the #1\u2019s books.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a fan wrote, \u201cDoes s**t like this all the time, and every time it happens the announcers say some shit like, \u2018we don\u2019t see that from Scottie often\u2019 but we actually see it extremely often.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have been many instances of Scottie Scheffler losing his cool since the beginning of 2025. He was seen whining during the PLAYERS Championship last year as well. Although that turned into a more comical scenario<\/a> than a backlash from the fans.<\/p>\n
