Unfortunately, the American golfer struggled to gain momentum as he failed to card a birdie on the front nine. He remained +2 for the day after nine holes as he carded a double bogey on the 7th hole.

Scheffler showcased his prowess on the back nine with four birdies and recovered well to finish his round with a score of -6. He remained bogey-free on the back nine and has an outside chance of winning a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

During the pre-round press conference of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Scheffler talked about his overall victories and trophies.

"I think one time this year I took like a trophy, I took my green jacket and the plaid jacket, and I think I held like the Players trophy in one hand, and I had another trophy in the other hand and walked in the living room like, ‘Sup, Mer,'" Scheffler said.

However, he added that he was just a golfer, and what happens on the course doesn't define his life and that he was just happy to be playing.

“At the end of the day, I’m just a golfer and I’m just out here trying to compete. That’s really all there is to it, and sometimes I’m good at it and sometimes I’m bad at it. I’ve talked about it a lot. It doesn’t define me as a person. Doesn’t define my life and I’m just happy to be here," Scheffler said.
