The natives of California have not seen the same success this season. Schauffele missed a few months at the beginning of the season with a rib injury.
He has maintained his strip of not missing out on a 36-hole cut as he has made 71 cuts in a row, but did not win a tournament this season. Schauffele was in the top 10 on two of the four majors this season – the masters and the open – but was not in the top five.
