PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Ted Scott calls it his little caddie trick, one that he uses to keep the No. 1-ranked player in the world engaged. Not that Scottie Scheffler really needs it. But such a tactic is fun nonetheless and makes for some good banter during rounds.
The duo has a game in which they keep track of the number of times Scheffler holes out or chips in during the year. And once Scheffler gets to 10, his caddie bestows upon him a nice, little gift, one that both seem to take great pride in accomplishing.
The 92-yard, 56-degree sand wedge shot that Scheffler and Scott saw roll into the cup at the par-4 4th hole was the sixth time this year—the bet is 10—that Scheffler has done it, and he made sure to point it out to Scott as they celebrated in the early portion of the final round of the Players Championship on Sunday.
