How Scottie Scheffler delivered just what Memphis golf fans needed at the St. Jude
Scottie Scheffler dialed up a well-timed dandy at TPC Southwind — and for that, we thank him.
MEMPHIS, TN — Golfing sensation Scottie Scheffler made a significant impact at the St. Jude Championship on Friday, Aug. 14, as he battled the sweltering August heat in Memphis and delivered an outstanding performance. Tied up in the August heat index that soared above 110 degrees, the world's top golfer tied the course record with a second-round 61, providing a much-needed distraction from the tournament's underlying tension and difficulties.
Scheffler's remarkable score, which places him among the elite golfers with the lowest rounds, served as an uplifting distraction and relief for fans enduring the challenging conditions. After his incredible round, Scheffler couldn't help but think about his ailing infant son, whose pacifier made him uneasy, causing him to briefly worry about his son's wellbeing.
Regardless, Scheffler stayed focused and gave us all a reminder of the world-class level of excellence that Memphis has seen in golf.
