Scottie Scheffler says he plays through hand, foot and mouth disease during the BMW Championship in St. Louis. Multiple outlets report he was not feeling well during the week, describing painful symptoms such as blisters, and he indicates the illness affected his physical condition rather than a specific swing or course factor. Despite struggling, Scheffler still posts rounds that keep him in contention for the final FedEx Cup standings.
The reports align on his overall finish: he places tied for 12th. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports describe him as “nowhere near” 100% during the event, while Yahoo Sports adds that he mentions being sick when approached for an interview. One Yahoo account also references that the illness comes after a prior win earlier in the playoffs, while the New York Post focuses more on the impact of the disease on his shots. Across sources, the central differences are mainly emphasis—how much detail is provided about symptoms and when he says he first got the illness.
