Pair of flubbed chips leave Scottie Scheffler in danger of missing the cut at Phoenix Open
Scottie Scheffler stubbed a chip shot on the par-4 18th and showed a rare bit of anger, repeatedly tapping the shaft of his wedge against his legs as the ball rolled back to his feet. When he did it again on No. 8, the world’s No. 1 player threw his hand up in disbelief before muttering to himself as he walked off with another bogey. Scheffler got off to a shaky start in his bid to win a third straight PGA Tour start, shooting a 2-over 73 in the first round of the Phoenix Open on Thursday. The frustrating round left Scheffler 10 shots off Chris Gotterup’s early lead and put him in danger of missing a cut for the first time in more than three years.
