Scottie Scheffler faced backlash for his behavior towards his caddie, Ted Scott, during the first round of The Memorial Tournament. After hitting his tee shot into the water on the 16th hole, Scheffler vented his frustrations at Scott, which some observers interpreted as petulance. Despite struggling initially, he finished strong on day two with three birdies, moving into the top 20. Former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart commented on the 'obvious atmosphere' between the two, suggesting that their dynamic may have been affected. However, many believe that the negative reaction to Scheffler's behavior is an overreaction, as their overall relationship remains solid. Scott has been with Scheffler for five years, during which time he has helped him secure 20 PGA Tour victories, including four major championships. While there was less interaction between them early in the second round, they engaged in their usual pre-shot discussions later, indicating that their bond is intact despite the incident.
