MONTREAL — Scottie Scheffler, nothing but net.
The World No. 1 hit his approach shot into a greenside bunker at the first hole at Royal Montreal Golf Club in his 2024 Presidents Cup singles match against the International Team’s Hideki Matsuyama. No. Big. Deal. Scheffler lofted his bunker shot high in the air and right into the cup on the fly for a birdie and a quick and improbable 1-up lead.
Scheffler clenched his right fist in a rather subdued celebration for such an incredible shot. Highlight reel stuff #ESPNplayoftheday Top-10 lock and huge momentum surge for Scheffler too.
The U.S. entered Sunday’s 12 single matches with an 11-7 lead. It is seeking its 10th straight win in the biennial competition.
DUNK FROM SCOTTIE!
1UP THRU 1
