Scottie Scheffler was left in disbelief as a birdie putt didn’t break toward the hole at the Charles Schwab Challenge played at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
With a roughly 11-foot putt left for birdie, Scheffler watched as his putt didn’t break towards the hole and rolled by about two feet.
Scheffler, in disbelief, flipped his putter and looked up at the sky before saying, ‘Screw these greens man. Gosh, how does it do that?’
The world No. 1 golfer would eventually tap his following putt in for par and didn’t further damage his score.
He then went on to dominate the rest of the course – shooting five-under for the day to move to three-under for the tournament and vaulted into the top-ten.

Scheffler would birdie the 13th hole and the 18th hole to move to even-par for the tournament.
After that, he birdied the first three holes of the front nine then parred his way out for a five-under 65 in the second round.
It comes a week to the day after his dramatic and shocking early morning arrest at the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky.
After being booked for allegedly dragging a cop who hung on to his vehicle, Scheffler was charged with felony second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and failure to obey signals from an officer directing traffic.
The felony charge could land Scheffler in prison for up to ten years.
There was speculation that the charges against the Masters champion would be dropped – or even reduced.
Instead, however, officials vowed to ‘to respect the legal process’ and ‘let it play out’.
The detective who arrested Scheffler, Bryan Gillis, was given ‘corrective action’ for his failure to activate his bodycam to record the situation.

‘Detective Gillis should have turned on his body-worn camera, but did not,’ Louisville police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a press conference on Thursday.
Detective Gillis is facing further scrutiny with accusations that he once drove an ‘intoxicated civilian’ in his ‘police vehicle’ and did ‘donuts’ in a business parking lot.
At yesterday’s first round, Scheffler struggled with the course – opening with two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine.
A triple bogey came on the 13th hole when his shot over a pond landed in the water and then his putt for double bogey rolled a foot past the hole.
He closed the day with a birdie on 17 to make his score two-over for the round.
After his arrest last week, Scheffler finished out the PGA Championship in a tie for eighth place after carding a 13-under for the tournament.
