Most folks expected Tiger to win every time he teed it up (cough cough Curtis Strange) and most folks feel the same about Scotty. That is exciting imo. Tiger couldn't sell Buicks in his prime but I bet Scottie could. 😁
Wyndham Clark with a 3rd round 60. One more roll on his putt and he has 59. 4th round called due to inclement weather. 54 hole winner for the 2023 US Open Champ. Some tournaments are more memorable. I'm sure I'll remember the 2025 3M winner too. Now I can't remember who won in Phoenix the last 2 years lol. I even watched both of them too.
From 1861 to 1867 Old Tom Morris won 4 of the 7 Opens he played in. At that time the Open was the only major in the world. 57% of winning all the majors. Another different era but superlative amongst his tough level of competion. Old Tom Morris was really really good.
Scotty has plenty of competition like Rory, Rahm, Bryson, Xander, JT, Aberg, Hovland, plus other studs in the top 25 etc. It's just that Scotty has elevated his game above and beyond his peers just like Tiger and Jack before.
