Scottie Scheffler is known for his poise under pressure, but even the steadiest players have their boiling point. That point came on Friday at the RBC Heritage, when the World No. 1 let loose with a full-bore club smash after a misfired approach, sending shockwaves through the golf world.

One fan chimed in, “big fan, but dude is quickly turning into a worse version of Jordan Spieth. Let’s simmer down a bit; Spieth is annoying enough.” Another noted the trend, saying, “Scottie’s defo lot angrier this season .”
Some appreciated the fire, arguing, “Honestly, it’s good to see some emotion from him; he’s been slipping, he knows it, and it’s good to see him holding himself accountable.” But others weren’t quite as forgiving, as they said, “turning into a major crybaby this year, great to see,” and “hahahaha, he’s so bad” echoed the harsher sentiments.
Scheffler may be chasing trophies, but right now, it’s his temper that’s stealing the spotlight.
