  "account": "Scottie Scheffler played the BMW Championship despite having hand, foot and mouth disease, which caused him pain while gripping the club. This was an extraordinary week for the golfer as he wrapped up the tournament with a most ordinary performance by his standards, committing his 13th bogey of the week. Despite his health issues, Scheffler maintained a competitive stance, coming close to entering the top 10 after three straight birdies. However, he closed the round with a bogey from the fairway bunker.",
