This aerial view shows just how INSANE Scottie Scheffler's eagle hole-out was

Scottie Scheffler is making a habit of holing out on the PGA Tour this year. 

His latest came during the third round of the 2023 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. And it was something very special. 

Okay, so not as special as the time he chipped in on the third hole at Augusta National on his way to winning the 2022 Masters.

But still, this was pretty good. It sent the crowd wild. It all happened on on the par-5 second hole. Scheffler missed his second way left. 

He was in a thick, juicy lie and some 61ft away from the hole. There wasn't too much green to work with but that didn't matter. 

Scheffler landed this thing perfectly and it rolled in for an eagle three. At the time, it vaulted him to 10-under par and the outright lead.

According to PGA Tour statistics, this was the 10th time this season that Scheffler has chipped in.

Just look at his reaction with his caddie Ted Scott below. 

It's also interesting to note that according to former PGA Tour caddie John Wood, Scheffler had a bet with Scott that he wouldn't reach 10 hole-outs.

You can just about see Scheffler mouth something about 'a bet' before going to high-five his looper.

Pace of play concerns Scheffler

The second round of the 2023 Players had to be completed early on Saturday morning. 

Scheffler had a 4am wakeup call for a 7am start with Rory McIlroy, who went on to miss the cut. 

Some groups were taking up to five hours to complete their rounds over the first two days. 

Scheffler was playing in a two-ball in the second round after Jon Rahm withdrew through illness. 

The 26-year-old said:

Tournament referee Gary Young defended the pace of play, saying:
