Sophomore golfer Lucas Scheufler never thought he would be required to get surgery after completely shattering and tearing several ligaments in his ankle after injuring it in a car crash.
On June 20, one week after the car wreck, Scheufler had two nails put into the left side of his ankle and a wire on the right side.
“I will have those for the rest of my life, but the wire helps it gain flexibility that it didn’t have before so I’m able to do more movements and I’m able to jump better because there’s not much stiffness or tightness,” Scheufler said
Performance and swing coach Seth Bryan was upset after hearing of the severity of Scheufler’s injury.
