During the post-round press conference, Scheffler downplayed the incident, attributing his sore back to over-practicing and assuring fans that a bit of ice would have him ready for Friday’s round. Despite this, the pain led to bogeys on the 14th and 15th holes, leaving him tied for 15th place.

The golf community has expressed concern, especially given Scheffler’s remarkable season, which includes six Tour wins and an Olympic gold medal. As fans speculate about his recovery and ability to maintain his lead, all eyes are on Scheffler to see if he can bounce back or if this will mark his first withdrawal of the season.
