Golf fans were furiously debating whether Scottie Scheffler caused his golf ball to move before playing a stroke in the third round of The Players Championship.
At this point you'll know Scheffler claimed his sixth PGA Tour victory at TPC Sawgrass in commanding fashion.

The 26-year-old made five consecutive birdies to pull away from the field and carded a final round of 69 to claim the win by five strokes.
But this moment appeared to capture the attention of some on social media. Scheffler is by a fairway bunker in what looked like a juicy lie on No. 7.
His tee shot with his TaylorMade Stealth Plus was miscued and found a watery grave. His third off the tee also wasn't great, going left once again.
Scheffler walked up to his ball and assessed the lie. He bent over and reached out to his ball with his right hand, removing a loose impediment.
Some fans were absolutely certain that Scheffler caused his ball to move. Scheffler went on to make a bogey five on the hole.
