Canadian Nick Taylor plays his shot from the 15th tee during the second round at TPC Sawgrass on March 15, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.Scottie Scheffler had his 25th consecutive round under par Friday in The Players Championship, and this was hard work. He felt pain in his neck that required treatment on the course, and he struggled to swing and to stay within range of Wyndham Clark.Clark was playing in the group behind, oblivious to Scheffler’s injury or anything else.
“I felt a little something in my neck, and then I tried to hit my tee shot on 12, and that’s when I could barely get the club back,” Scheffler said through a PGA Tour official. The hope for Scheffler is he would have free range by the weekend. The concern is that he already was No. 1 in the world and appearing to hit another gear coming off his five-shot victory last week at Bay Hill until this injury interruption.The U.S. Open champion already shot 60 at Pebble Beach to win in 54 holes because of weather, and he was the only player who mounted any challenge against Scheffler at Bay Hill last week, finishing runner-up.
He closed with a birdie for a 30 on the front nine and was at 14-under 130. The 36-hole record holder for The Players is Webb Simpson in 2018. Rory McIlroy didn’t make a par until the seventh hole in a wild round of 73 that left him eight shots behind Clark.
