After a disappointing week at the Masters, Scottie Scheffler is all set for redemption at the RBC Heritage

Remember how Scottie Scheffler was invincible last year at the Masters? Well, it wasn’t really the case this time. The World No. 1 started off strong with a bogey-free opening round, settling for a 68 with four birdies on Thursday. However, things quickly started taking a bad turn since Friday.

In the second round, although he did well for the first six holes, his birdie on the sixth hole was followed by a bogey. Although he made up for it with another birdie on the eighth hole, things started getting worse on the back nine.

After carding four bogeys and only three birdies on the back nine, Scottie Scheffler settled for a 1-under. On Saturday, while he did manage to restrict himself to only two bogeys, he did fail to grab several opportunities to make it to the top. That made him end with an even par, and on Sunday, he ended up scoring 69, settling for the solo fourth position, just four strokes away from eventual winner Rory McIlroy.

Although Scottie Scheffler could not defend his title at the Masters this year, it looks as if he is all set to defend his title at the RBC Heritage. A few hours ago, Scottie Scheffler posted three pictures from Hilton Head Island, in South Carolina. It was snippets of him hitting shots during the practice rounds. In the caption, he shared his excitement and wrote:

“It’s time @rbcheritage. Here’s to a great week.”

Well, last year he did manage to pull out a pretty great job at the RBC Heritage last year. But the question is with his current form, will he be able to defend the title?
