It Appears Prison May Have Broken Scottie Scheffler

Well, thanks a lot, Louisville PD – you guys may have broken Scottie Scheffler. It took us YEARS to find a suitable replacement for Tiger Woods, and you guys locked him up and broke him down. 

Brutal. 

The World No. 1 is going THROUGH it this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, carding a 74 in Thursday's opening round and struggling again early this morning. 

And by struggling, I mean missing a putt, throwing his stupid club in the air, and cursing the greens in the most polite way possible. 

Scottie Scheffler continues to struggle post jail time

Did prison break Scottie? I don't know, you tell me. This is a guy who never missed a putt up until one week ago, when he was dragged through the mud by a cop who (may have) soiled himself, and then locked away just hours before his PGA tee time. 

And now … this. You never see Scottie A) miss putts, and B) show any sort of emotion. Guy is a robot, which, in turn, makes him lethal. Never gets too high, or too low. Just plays it right down the middle, which is where he usually pipes every single drive. 

Now look at him – just cursing up a storm. Remember what Prison Mike once said:

Do you really expect me to not push you up against the wall, beeyotch?! All right, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's just the way we talk in the clink. 

Not how Scottie talked, until he spent a few hours behind bars. Since then, it's been a rough little ride. Tough day last Saturday, which basically took him out of contention, and a tough day yesterday. And now, he's smoking 8-footers past the cup and tossing his club like a ragdoll. 

Look what they took from us. Unacceptable. 

Chin up, Scottie! You're gonna be vindicated soon enough, if you haven't been already. Let's get this thing turned around.
