Scheffler played BMW Championship through hand, foot and mouth disease pain

World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler has revealed he competed at the BMW Championship while suffering from hand, foot and mouth disease. The illness caused painful blisters on his hands, making it difficult to grip his golf club throughout the tournament. Despite acknowledging he probably should have withdrawn, Scheffler chose to push through and finished tied for 12th place. He now heads to the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake, hoping to recover fully in time. Scheffler is aiming for a second FedExCup title after a dominant victory the week before he fell ill.
