AUGUSTA, Ga. — WHEN SCOTT SCHEFFLER showed up in Dr. Troy Van Biezen's office in Dallas one day in fall 2014, he was panicked.
Scheffler's son, Scottie, had been one of the best junior golfers in the world, but was struggling to even hit a ball straight as a freshman at the University of Texas.
The player who only months earlier had tied for 22nd (and made a hole-in-one) in the 2014 Byron Nelson Championship, a PGA Tour event, could no longer break par.
He posted an 18-over total in 54 holes in his first collegiate start. He carded a 15-over score in his second start. Making matters worse, Scottie's ailing back had forced him to pull out of a tournament.
