After Justin Thomas’ third round of the RBC Heritage, the two-time major champion went in the broadcast booth alongside the CBS crew.
While Thomas was watching Scottie Scheffler play on the back nine of his third round, he wondered aloud why Scottie uses high-numbered golf balls.
“Does anybody else think it’s weird that Scottie uses high numbers? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an elite player use high-numbered golf balls.”
Amanda Balionis who was on the grounds chimed in, reporting that analyst Dottie Pepper had wondered the same thing earlier that day.

“I’ve been going about this wrong my whole life,” Thomas jokingly said.
Given Scottie’s incredible results this season, it may be a good idea for Titleist to stock up on high-numbered balls for what figures to be a popular purchase for golf enthusiasts this summer.
