Watch: Angry Scottie Scheffler smashes club into turf during second round at RBC Heritage.
Scottie Scheffler lost his cool during the second round of the RBC Heritage where he’s attempting to defend his title at famed Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island.
PGA Tour superstar Scottie Scheffler was seen losing his temper and hurling his club into the turf during the second round at the RBC Heritage.
Scheffler, 28, tried to draw his ball around a tall tree with his approach shot into the par-4 8th at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island.
But his ball caught the trees and ended up coming down into the bunker down the left flank some 60 yards short of the green.
As a stroppy Scheffler went to pass his club back to caddie Ted Scott, he decided to keep hold of it and then smash it into the first cut of rough.
Scheffler went on to make a bogey to move back to level par for his round at the time.
A lot of critics have been quick to point out recently that for whatever reason Scheffler seems a lot more hot-headed and affected by poor shots this season.

Scheffler dusted himself down as he boarded the next tee and he went on to make a birdie on the short par-4 9th.
He went on to card 1-under 70 to move to 8-under par for the tournament.
That sees him lie four shots behind Justin Thomas heading into the third round.
World No.1 Scheffler is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the RBC Heritage since Boo Weekley in 2008.
This week’s RBC Heritage marks the fifth of eight Signature Events on the PGA Tour this season.
As a result it comes with a huge $20m prize fund with $3.6m going to the winner.
Scheffler is looking to win his first title on the PGA Tour this season.
He finished solo fourth in his title defence at The Masters last week.
Scheffler was forced to miss the first few weeks of the 2025 season as a result of a hand injury on Christmas Day.
He sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass and he had to undergo surgery.
That very much set him back in his tracks to continue where he left off in 2024.
Scottie Scheffler had an outstanding season, capturing seven official PGA Tour titles and nine overall, including his first Olympic gold medal in Paris.
The two-time Masters champion continues to hold the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
However, World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is narrowing the margin, especially after his recent Masters victory, which completed his career grand slam.
The difference between them is now under 3 points.
This week, Scheffler also surpassed Dustin Johnson with 136 total weeks as the World No. 1.
