Watch: Scottie Scheffler shouts ‘f**k!’ as he has a hot-mic moment at the WM Phoenix Open
Scottie Scheffler lost his composure during the first round of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open on Thursday, February 8. The American golfer got off to a rough start with a bogey on the first hole on Thursday, which he quickly covered with two back-to-back birdies.
In a video shared by NUCLR Golf, Scheffler can be heard cursing and yelling "F**K" after his shot went wrong. His voice could be heard on live television as he was mic'd up.
Check out the video below:
On the par-4, fifth hole, he missed a perfect opportunity to make a birdie. On his third attempt, Scheffler was within striking distance of the hole. However, the ball came to rest only 2 feet, 8 inches from the hole. He needed to take another shot to get the ball into the hole, eventually settling for a par.
He shot a bogey on the first hole, followed by two birdies on the second and third holes, and made par on the other three holes he played in the first round.
The first round of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open was suspended due to darkness and the play will resume on Friday, February 9. Scheffler had only played six holes on Thursday and will complete the remaining on Friday.
