It may be a few weeks since The Open Championship, but one thing struck me during Scottie Scheffler’s victory procession, as one of the crown jewels of the British sporting summer came to an end.
Scheffler, who is well known for being a devoted Christian, stormed to victory at Royal Portrush, shooting 17 under par to finish four shots clear in what was a fairly uncompetitive affair by the final day, as every would-be challenger failed to keep up with his supreme consistency and deadly putting on the greens.
The champion golfer of the year has been relentless on the tour over the last few years and this, his fourth major, now leaves him only requiring a maiden US Open title to become just the seventh man to complete the career Grand Slam.
