Scottie Scheffler receives brutal break as lady golf fan apologises at Procore
Lady golf spectator apologises to Scottie Scheffler after accidentally backheeling his golf ball into some tree roots during the second round of the Procore Championship.
Scottie Scheffler received one of the worst breaks of his season when his ball hit the back of a lady's heel and ended up resting on some tree roots during the second round of the Procore Championship.
The Procore Championship on the North Course at Silverado Resort marks the final PGA Tour event before the Ryder Cup in New York in two weeks time.
Team USA captain Keegan Bradley urged his troops to compete in this week's tournament in order to build up their competitive reps ahead of their biennial clash with Luke Donald's Team Europe.
Ten of Bradley's 12 players are here in Napa this week, with just Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau absent. Schauffele is out to be alongside his wife who gave birth to their first child last week, while DeChambeau remains suspended on the PGA Tour as a result of his ties to LIV Golf.
Scheffler started a red-hot favourite to win a sixth title this season, but so far for 36 holes it's not quite gone to plan for the World No.1.
On Thursday, Scheffler's incredible run of 21 straight rounds in the 60s came to an end with a round of 70 at the Procore Championship.
Despite a better start to Friday's second round with five birdies on his outward nine having started on the 10th, Scheffler endured a tougher back nine.
Scheffler hit a number of errant tee shots on the way home, one of which cost him a first bogey of the day on the par-4 1st.
He then made four pars in a row before dropping another shot on the par-4 6th.
That was a hole not without a moment of controversy, however, as Scheffler's ball bounced off the heel of a golf fan before resting in some tree roots.
The unfortunate break for Scheffler saw him force to chip out sideways into the rough.
He would get the dropped shot back with a birdie on the par-4 9th, his final hole of the round, to card a 4-under 68.
Scheffler finds himself at 6-under par, which is eight shots off the halfway pace set by his US Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin on 14-under par.

Russell Henley, who will likely play alongside Scottie Scheffler at the Ryder Cup in two weeks time, also carded a 68.
Henley progressed to 11-under par for 36 holes as he goes in pursuit of his second title this season.
He was also one of our golf betting tips at the start of the week.
US Open champion and Ryder Cup player JJ Spaun is also in contention in Napa.
