Caddie confronts fan over derogatory remark about Scheffler's wife at Presidents Cup

During the Presidents Cup on Saturday, a fan was ejected for making a derogatory comment about Meredith, the wife of golfer Scottie Scheffler. This incident occurred while Scheffler and his partner, Russell Henley, were competing against Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im, ultimately winning their match 3 and 2. The comment provoked an angry response from Scheffler's caddie, Ted Scott, who confronted the heckler and expressed his outrage. Scott Scheffler, Scottie's father, confirmed the removal of the disruptive fan from Royal Montreal. Despite the incident, Scheffler maintained his focus and successfully made the winning putt shortly after the disruption. The match was significant as it contributed to the American team's 11-7 lead against the International team. Henley later remarked that they quickly moved past the incident and concentrated on their game, indicating that it did not affect their performance. The Presidents Cup has a history of intense competition, and this incident added to the already charged atmosphere. Team USA, led by Jim Furyk, dominated the matches on Saturday, securing six out of eight points. With only 4.5 points needed from the upcoming singles matches to clinch the trophy, the stakes were high for both teams. As the competition continued, Scheffler was set to face Matsuyama again, having previously defeated him. The International team, while trailing, remained hopeful for a comeback, emphasizing the need for strong performances in the final matches to secure victory.
