- World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler expressed significant frustration towards his caddie, Ted Scott, during the opening round of The Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
- The incident occurred on the 16th hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club when Scheffler's shot, which he believed was a 'flushed 7-iron,' landed on the green before bouncing into the water hazard.
- Scheffler attributed the misjudgment to incorrect wind assessment, stating: “We get the wind wrong, and I end up in the water. I don’t think you understand how frustrating that is.”
- His one-over-par first-round performance left him six shots behind the early leaders, including Wyndham Clark, JJ Spaun, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Gerard, who were all at -5.
- The interaction divided golf fans, with many criticizing Scheffler's attitude and labeling him “insufferable” and a “crybaby”, while others dismissed the incident as minor, and his caddie remained calm throughout the exchange.
