Scottie Scheffler concedes a putt to Presidents Cup opponent Nico Echavarria after a spectator yells during Echavarria’s backswing. Reports describe a fan calling out “Go Scottie” as Echavarria prepares to hit, disrupting his routine on the par-4 14th hole.
After the disruption, Scheffler moves to the next shot and then chooses to concede a chip/putt, allowing Echavarria to tie the hole. Multiple outlets characterize the gesture as sportsmanship, noting Scheffler says the shout throws him off as well. The New York Post adds that Echavarria is down three through 13 holes when the incident occurs, while other outlets focus more generally on the concession and the impact on the hole.
Overall, the accounts agree on the key sequence: the spectator calls out during Echavarria’s swing, Scheffler is affected, and he makes a concession that changes the hole’s outcome. They also align on the broader match context, with Scheffler ultimately winning the Presidents Cup match against Echavarria to finish 3-1.
