Summary
Scottie Scheffler pulled off a gutsy move on the 17th at Royal Birkdale, taking a free drop after his second shot vanished into a tented area — a rare rules call that let him salvage a birdie and surge into contention with one hole left. It echoed Jordan Spieth’s 2017 near-miss at the same spot, where relief didn’t require finding the ball. Scheffler’s dramatic late surge — starting six strokes back and clawing his way into the mix — ended with a heartbreaking bogey on the final hole, leaving him tied for fourth. Though he missed his first major win of 2026 and remains winless this season, he praised his mental toughness and clutch decisions. A single break, even a lucky one, can’t overcome the razor-thin margins at the top. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
