Scottie Scheffler battled back really well after an absolutely torrid front nine at The Memorial Tournament on Friday.
Scheffler bogeyed three holes in a row on day two at Muirfield Village from the 8th.
However, the 29-year-old made three birdies in his final six holes to end up at one-over par for the tournament, exactly where he started the day.
Scottie Scheffler clearly does not have his best stuff right now, and he has really struggled through two rounds of The Memorial Tournament this week.
Scheffler caused real controversy on Thursday at The Memorial after he berated his caddie, Ted Scott, for failing to get the wind direction correct on the 16th hole.
The world number one was obviously not happy with his game, and he has cut a really frustrated figure on the golf course throughout the first two days at Muirfield Village.

After finishing up his second round, Scheffler was asked whether he plans to change his approach on Saturday, considering the fact that he’s 10 shots back.
The world number one responded by saying how important patience is in order to succeed at Muirfield Village.
“This golf course you have to hit the ball in the right spots and today was a day where on the last six holes I hit in the right spots, so it opened up a bit,“ he said.
“But at the beginning of the round I was off the green pretty much on every hole so things can get out of hand pretty quickly like that on this golf course.
“I may be a lot of things, but a quitter is not one of them, though.
“Teddy and I did a good job of trying to battle out there and I holed some nice putts down the stretch to keep myself in the tournament.“
Scottie Scheffler says how challenging the wind is at Muirfield Village
Scheffler was asked how much of a factor the wind has played this week at Muirfield Village.
“I would say in higher winds it feels a bit more consistent and you are a little easier on yourself as it’s so difficult,“ he replied.
“But at the same time today I was not hitting it very well so there was not really too much to blame outside of myself for contact.
“Even some of my good ones – I hit really good shots on seven and eight – and I was walking with Ted saying even some of my good ones are not good right now.
“I hit a good one on 13 there, got a birdie, but overall it was a tough day. I felt I could have shot 90 and I got out there with even par. It was a difficult golf course, difficult conditions.“
