Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun's very different heights catch Ryder Cup fans' attention

Scottie Scheffler didn't get his Ryder Cup off to the start he wanted, dropping his Friday morning match.

So when he strolled out for Friday afternoon, there was redemption on his mind. And he's got a new partner, too, in J.J. Spaun.

The most notable part about Scheffler and Spaun, before they took to the course, was their height disparity.

It quickly had people talking on social media, and to be fair, it is pretty drastic.
