Fans on social media have reacted to Scottie Scheffler’s amazing footwork on a bunker shot at the 2025 Procore Championship. The American golfer has teed it up this week in the fall season PGA Tour event ahead of the Ryder Cup.
In the opening round of the tournament, which was held on Thursday, September 11, Scheffler had a decent start. A video of his bunker shot was shared on the X (formerly Twitter) account by the PGA Tour.
While taking the shot, the current World No. 1 slipped but still managed to hit the ball. One of the commentators called it a crazy shot. He said:
“Well, we used to think crazy footwork was done, but this is a little bit more than what we used to think.”
Fans have reacted in the comments section of the PGA Tour post and talked about Scottie Scheffler’s footwork.
“Moonwalking off the chip,” a fan wrote.
“Looks like his footwork is a bit more active than usual,” another fan added.
“that was some moonwalking,” a fan said.
Here are more fan reactions:
“Aura,” one more fan added.
“Is this AI?” a fan added.
“My club would’ve dug into the ground 2ft before the ball,” one more fan said.
