In his post-round interview on Saturday, Scheffler shared that he was tired after a whole day’s play.

“I mean, I’m a little tired right now just because we finished,” revealed the player. However, he said his goal was to “go home, get some rest” to prepare for the next round. The golfer also divulged that he wasn’t doing much other than playing this week. “I haven’t been doing much this week outside of playing, so I haven’t been practicing as much after the round and stuff like that, so just try to go home and get some rest.”
