Scottie Scheffler on making the par on the 18th hole: With the old rules I think I probably maybe would have gone back to the tee

In the post-tournament press conference, Scottie Scheffler was asked what happened on the 536-yard par-5 18th hole. After an errant tee shot that landed in a hazardous area on the beach, Scheffler successfully made a par. Talking about it, he said (via Tee Scripts):

"Saw a ball on the beach, went down there, found my ball, moved some rocks, hit it out, hit it on the green, two-putted."

Scheffler added that had the old rules been applied, he might have to replay from the tee which would have worsened his score.

"I would have assumed I probably wouldn't have been able to get it up over the top. And you're able to ground your club, like I was able to move some rocks behind my ball. I think probably, I would have probably tried to not hit it because if I mess it up, I'm back still on the tee box hitting like my fourth shot," he continued.

In 2019, golf rules changed and players were allowed to remove loose impediments anywhere on the course. Scottie Scheffler added:

"So with the old rules I think I probably maybe would have gone back to the tee just because the way the rocks were around my ball and the unpredictability of not being able to maybe get it up over the top. But able to move some rocks definitely made the shot easier."

Scottie Scheffler finished with a score of 2-under 70. He scored three birdies on the front nine against a bogey on the back nine at the Pebble Beach Golf Links. After two rounds, he is tied for 20th with an aggregate score of 7-under 137.
