The golfer, known for his recent successes, including a win at the Masters, termed the incident a ‘big misunderstanding’ after being booked and photographed.

Despite the ordeal, Scheffler managed to make it to his tee time and was welcomed by fans with enthusiasm before kicking off his round with a birdie.
