The Scottie Scheffler fart-gate took a model new twist.
On the seventeenth gap on the British Open final Thursday, when Scheffler was chipping to the inexperienced, the printed feed picked up somebody passing fuel.

“You never know with the boom mics there, you never know what they’re going to pick up. I’m definitely surprised it hasn’t happened more in the past picking up stuff like that. I literally didn’t think anything about it then after we got inside, Xander [Schauffele] was showing me the video. He pulls up the video and I see myself standing on 17, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I know what this is.’”
Now that the reality is out, the fuel would possibly’ve helped gas his shot as Scheffler virtually chipped it straight into the opening.
Scheffler completed Thursday 3-under par and continued to experience excessive into the weekend earlier than he ran away with the British Open crown, his first time profitable that main.
The chasing group behind him by no means bought inside 4 strokes on the ultimate day. Scheffler, earlier than profitable the occasion, was the world No. 1 golfer and the betting favourite to win the Claret Jug.
“It is a pretty special feeling,” Scheffler mentioned after profitable. “It was a tough week; I battled hard all weekend. Today, once again, was a battle, but [I] played some really good golf. I’m fortunate to be standing here holding the trophy.”
The British Open now offers Scheffler the third of the 4 main trophies in golf, as he wants the U.S. Open to finish the profession grand slam.
