WATCH: Scottie Scheffler's "rebuild my swing" joke after taking a share of the lead at the Genesis Invitational

Scottie Scheffler struggled with his driver in Round 2 of the Genesis Invitational on Friday. He finished the round trailing leader Davis Thompson by one stroke.

Scheffler had quite an eventful day at Torrey Pines on Friday. He almost lost his balance while trying to hit a shot from the bunker slope. Although the World No. 1 easily made the +4 weekend cut, he largely struggled with his driving skills.

In fact, at one point, Scheffler was even tied for the lead before eventually being surpassed by Davis Thompson. While talking to the media, the former was asked whether the struggles were part of getting back into "season form" or if something was off. The star golfer had a hilarious answer to this.

"I'm probably going to go rebuild my swing this afternoon. Yeah, that's probably it."

Scottie Scheffler did, in fact, go to the driving range for a quick session with his driver afterward. In Round 3 of the Genesis Invitational, he is placed second and is currently two strokes behind Thompson (at the time of writing).
