Scheffler pulled his tee shot into the beach but didn't see it land. He either could have taken a penalty drop 40 yards forward from the end of the tee box, or walk 300 yards or take a chance he could find his ball.
Scheffler was lucky enough to find his ball, and then came the next task: hit off the beach back onto the course and get it over the cliff.
Scheffler was just hoping to find grass.
"I think the unpredictability was the most difficult part. I was really just trying to get it out over the rocks and anywhere up there on grass I would have been pretty happy about, obviously. Saved me a couple of shots there being able to find my ball in the sand," Scheffler said.
He was able to find some grass in the fairway that left him about 180 yards out, but even though he was out of the sand, this shot wasn't any easier.
"I mean, that was a really hard shot. I was in between clubs and I had to chip a 6-iron in there from 180 (yards out), with the wind you can obviously see it blowing off the left there, so it was a pretty tough shot, just glad to get that on the green," Scheffler said.
He then two-putted from 40 feet to complete the par save.
"After the tee ball, I definitely would have taken a par, so there's no complaints from me there."
The par completed a 2-under 70 round on the day.
After the second round, Scheffler was seven-under par, tied for 20th. Sepp Straka led after two rounds at -14.
Scheffler said he isn't feeling all the way himself yet after his first two rounds.
"(My game) feels good, I've limited the mistakes and I feel like I haven't been swinging it as well as I could be, so I think there maybe just a little bit of rust there, a little bit of timing my swing, but it's good to be getting back into competitive golf, and nice to be out here at Pebble," Scheffler said.
The star golfer is 2-under through four holes to begin this third round, leaving him 9-under par as of the time of writing.
The third round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am continues on Saturday.
The building that was formerly home to the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida will be repurposed, the company confirmed to local media earlier this week.
