Phil Mickelson has never been one to hold back his thoughts, and on Sunday, as Scottie Scheffler led The Open Championship, Lefty decided it was time to clap back after being teased over an old comment.
Provided Scheffler simply enters a veritable cruise control, this year's Open Championship seems like it's far and away his to lose. He's just been that good, that locked in, that focused. He's playing it's his major to win, and no one else even has a realistic chance:
Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.
Scheffler won three titles in the span of a month, one of those being his third major victory at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. It was another laugher, Scheffler winning this one by five shots and cementing his spot as the best golfer in the world.
Scottie Scheffler has a well-designed game plan for the final round of the Open Championship, although that seems easier said than done.
