On Sunday, Scottie Scheffler ended his run at Augusta National by tying for the 10th spot on the leaderboard. The 2022 Masters winner’s outing this year was relatively successful, with several other past green jacket winners faring disappointingly.
A calm presence on the golf course, Scheffler’s rare not-so-tranquil moment from Augusta has now gone viral on the internet. As spectators looked on, the golfer looked visibly frustrated as he exchanged a few words with his putting coach, Randy Smith.
