Scottie Scheffler’s Revealing Open Championship Win

Watch enough golf, and you’ll start to feel like you’ve seen everything. Say, a man wading knee-deep into a water hazard with his pants rolled up, or another man chasing after a missed putt and then whacking it again while the ball is still moving, or John Daly doing anything. But I’m not sure there’s ever been a golf week like this. Lord knows, at this point, we’ve experienced plenty of Scottie Scheffler in the winner’s circle. Coming into the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the 29-year-old Texan and world no. 1 had won three times this season, including the PGA Championship in May. He hadn’t finished outside of the top 10 in a tournament since March. And this came after a monstrous nine-win season in 2024, which included his second Masters victory and an Olympic gold medal.
