Rory McIlroy heard about Scottie Scheffler’s hand injury — and he had one joke, which he told ahead of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

A Christmas mishap while making ravioli, using an upside-down wine glass to form the stuffed Italian pasta, eventually led to Scheffler's surgery and a four-tournament layoff. But Scheffler is back this week at Pebble Beach and seems ready to extend a season that many would call either Byron Nelson or Tiger Woods-esque.
