Scottie Scheffler appears to have taken a page out of Rory McIlroy’s book from the US Open in what he did after completing his final round at The Open Championship over the weekend.

Scottie Scheffler may be a little disappointed with his performances in the major championships this season after winning his second Masters title at the start of the year.

Of course, the PGA Championship will largely be remembered for what happened – literally – outside Valhalla rather than on the Kentucky course. Meanwhile, plenty would have backed Scheffler for glory when he was two shots back heading into the final round at The Open Championship at Royal Troon.

However, Scheffler had a largely miserable time at the US Open, and he was actually not really a factor on Sunday in South Ayrshire; with essentially a four-putt on the ninth resulting in a double bogey which largely ended his hopes of winning a second major title of the year.

Scheffler had problems with the putter all weekend, while his final tee shot saw the 28-year-old snap hook a three iron 150 yards. He was forced to take a drop. It was certainly not a fitting way for the world number one’s major season to end.

And it seems that he was in no mood to speak to the press about his performance, with Golf Channel reporting that Scheffler declined the chance to speak to any of the media after his round ended.

An amazing year, but major season ends on sour note

Of course, that may perhaps remind fans of what happened to Rory McIlroy after Pinehurst. McIlroy surprised Bryson DeChambeau by not sticking around after the American clinched victory, with the Northern Irishman leaving the course almost immediately after the LIV Golf star had holed the winning putt.

McIlroy’s anguish was understandable, which makes Scheffler’s stance a little perplexing as it would have been good to know how he reflects on his performances in the majors this year.

Whatever happens from here, Scheffler has had an incredible 2024, but perhaps he felt that he should have done even more in three of the game’s four biggest events.
