Watch Scottie Scheffler in rare temper tantrum: "Somebody should be fined!"
PGA Tour superstar Scottie Scheffler was filmed getting a little bit hot under the collar during the final round of the RBC Heritage.
You don't usually associate Scottie Scheffler with outbursts of anger.
Granted, every player on the PGA Tour is capable of having their moments. Some more than others.
But Scheffler? This guy just has the vibes of being a big teddy bear that is hugely appreciative of just how far he has come in the game.

When the 26-year-old won the 2022 Masters, he immediately pointed to his faith in Christ. "The reason I play golf is to glorify God," he said.
So seeing Scheffler suggest someone should be fined after what he deemed was a little bit too much sand in a bunker is a little bit surprising.
Okay, so Scheffler wasn't really 100 per cent serious in this moment, but it's clear to say that he was at the very least a little bit hot under the collar.
Our scene? The final round of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head. It was another one of the PGA Tour's 'designated events'.
To the uninitiated, that means it had a bumper prize purse. Scheffler, along with a host of elite names committed to playing in the event.
Rory McIlroy decided to skip it after his miserable display at Augusta, but was promptly reminded by his peers that rules are rules.
Scheffler played well, but was a little bit too far away to contend heading into the final round and eventually finished T-11.
Matthew Fitzpatrick eventually won the tournament with an unbelievable shot and embraced his girlfriend Katherine Gaal.
But back to Scheffler and he was playing his second shot at No. 11. It's a par-4, measuring at 446 yards.
Scheffler sent his tee shot just a tad right and into the pine straw. From there, he tugged his approach left and found the greenside trap.
He was unable to get up-and-down to save his par. But what really annoyed him was the amount of sand in the bunker.
Immediately after playing his shot, Scheffler could be heard saying:

A complaint from Scheffler caught on a mic as CBS turns to Spieth:

Scheffler eventually posted a 1-under 70. It was still a handsome pay day for the former World No. 1.
Perhaps Scheffler might need some rest.
He described his Masters as an 'out of body experience' because he struck it beautifully but seemingly couldn't hole a single putt.
Scheffler was also filmed getting a little bit short with his coach.
