Scottie Scheffler was shocked to witness Bryson DeChambeau’s hole-out during the third round of the Masters 2024. The LIV golfer had initially seized the lead in the ongoing Major after the first round and, surprisingly, extended his lead even further after the second round.

Bryson DeChambeau’s hole-out during the third round was shocking for Scottie, which caused him to get a birdie on the 18th hole. Scottie Scheffler watched the shot with a CBS Sports news anchor, and upon seeing the shot, Scheffler exclaimed, “Oh… my goodness.” This reaction displayed Scottie will have tough competition from Bryson in the final.

Sky Sports Golf shared a video on its X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption:
