ST. LOUIS (AP) — Scottie Scheffler says he was sick at the BMW Championship and he shared just how bad it was. After closing with a 68, Scheffler says he had hand, foot and mouth disease. That causes blisters on his throat, his hands and his feet. He says he was able to walk OK, but he had trouble gripping the club all week. Scheffler had 13 bogeys, which is unusual for him. He hit only 65% of his greens. He says he probably should have withdrawn considering nothing was at stake this week in terms of his position in the FedEx Cup.
