Scottie Scheffler's attempt at a three-peat at Jack's Place isn’t off to the best start, but at the very least, he didn't let a rare shank turn into a dropped shot on Friday.
Five holes into his second round at the Memorial Tournament, Sheffler was in the bunker and had 81 feet to the hole. In a rare flub, the world No. 1 shanked his ensuing shot — his third of the hole — hitting the ball out of the bunker but to the right into the rough — now 53 feet to the hole.
What could've been an up-and-down birdie turned into a must-make for Scheffler's momentum on the front nine and make it he did.
Scheffler chipped onto the green and made a 7-footer to card a 5 and stay at even-par for his round.
As of publishing, that momentum has waned for the four-time major champ. He's made the turn and is sitting on three bogeys as he moves to the final eight holes.
Check back later for a full update on his round.

Shanks rarely end in a par.
Scottie Scheffler knows the most important shot is the next one.
