Scottie Scheffler says driver also ruled nonconforming ahead of PGA

Matscharacter's Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler both faced equipment issues at the PGA Championship as USGA rules flagged their respective drivers for nonconformance during testing. Despite McIlloy being a two-time major champion who recently claimed the career Grand Slam, he reportedly didn’t interact with reporters after his round. Meanwhile, Scheffler acknowledged that while his driver underperformed due to swing mechanics, he advocated for more comprehensive driver testing across the field. The USGA’s adoption of "characteristic time" testing aims to uphold tournament integrity, though opinions vary on its sufficiency in ensuring fair competition.
