Screw these greens, man!’: Scottie Scheffler tosses club after missed birdie putt at Colonial

Scottie Scheffler had an unexpected start to his week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, beginning with a two-over par on Thursday. Attempting to regain his form on Friday, Scheffler found himself struggling once again with the bentgrass greens at Colonial. With his streak of 36 consecutive cuts on the line, he still has time to recover but faces a significant challenge.

The 640-yard, par-5 11th hole, which was his second of the day, proved particularly frustrating. After a 353-yard tee shot that positioned him well to reach the green in two, Scheffler narrowly missed his birdie putt, prompting him to toss his putter in frustration. “Screw these greens, man,” he remarked with a hint of an Owen Wilson twang, capturing his exasperation.

Despite his struggles, Scheffler remains only five strokes behind the leaders, a testament to his resilience and skill. His recent challenges are well-known, so it’s important to cut him some slack. Given his ability to overcome tough situations—like stretching in a jail cell and then going five under at Valhalla—there’s hope that he can turn things around.
