MONTREAL – Don’t mess with Texas or Ted Scott.
The veteran caddie has been laughing all the way to the bank this season as his boss, Scottie Scheffler, banked more than $62 million. But he also has Scheffler’s back and on Saturday he took offense to a fan making crude comments about the Texan’s spouse, Meredith.
We won’t stoop to repeating this bonehead’s words but it wasn’t cool, totally uncalled for, not to mention inappropriate. It also sent Scott into a rage. He went outside the ropes on the 16th hole at Royal Montreal during Saturday’s afternoon foursomes match to confront the fan.
Gabby Herzig of The Athletic first reported the story on her social media. She also noted that Scheffler’s father confirmed that the fan was kicked out of the tournament. But not before Scott went to get to the bottom of it. A member of the International Team’s inner circle witnessed the scene and said that Scott yelled, “Who’s the (jerk) who said that?”
