Matt Fitzpatrick Misunderstands Scottie Scheffler's Silence at BMW Championship
During the BMW Championship, Matt Fitzpatrick experienced an awkward situation while paired with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. After two rounds of minimal communication, Fitzpatrick began to wonder if he had upset Scheffler.
The reason for Scheffler's silence was his struggle with hand, foot, and mouth disease, which caused painful blisters and made it difficult for him to speak and play. Despite feeling unwell, Scheffler managed to finish tied for 12th place.
After the tournament, Scheffler shared that he had started feeling ill shortly after his significant win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He acknowledged that his decision to compete while sick may not have been wise, but he pushed through the discomfort, demonstrating his determination to complete the event.
