Overview
- Scottie Scheffler vaulted back into contention with a bogey‑free seven‑under 65 on Saturday, moving to seven under and four shots behind leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young at 11 under.
- Scheffler bristled in his post‑round press conference when asked if the 65 could or should have been lower, calling it a terrible question and asking for the next one.
- Minutes earlier he had said he left a few shots out there, which echoed the premise of the question about how low the round might have gone.
- He later apologized and said the question was not that bad, and reporter Jason Sobel said there was no bad blood and that Scheffler answered his next question.
- Despite the charge, he has not birdied Augusta National’s par‑5 13th and 15th in three rounds and is two over on those holes, a scoring gap that often decides the final outcome at the Masters.
