Scottie Scheffler saves par after beach shot at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler faced a challenging round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, shooting a 2-under 70 despite a chaotic performance on the par-5 18th hole. After pulling his tee shot into the beach, Scheffler undertook a risky journey to locate his ball among rocks and seaweed, ultimately managing to hit it back onto the fairway. He described the experience as 'lucky,' successfully saving par with a 6-iron approach and two putts from 40 feet. Scheffler acknowledged that the unpredictability of the situation was daunting, stating he would have been content with a bogey from that position. This round marked his first competition in nearly two months following minor surgery on his hand. As he heads into the weekend, Scheffler remains in contention, trailing the leader by seven shots.
