Sizzling takes usually show to be mistaken. That’s the reason they’re referred to as scorching takes, in any case.
You’ll recall that again in March the good Phil Mickelson unloaded fairly the Take. He mentioned that he believed LIV’s Joaquin Niemann was the most effective golfer on the earth. Provided that Scottie Scheffler held and nonetheless holds that publish following his PGA Championship win… that was daring to say the least.
What’s extra for Phil is that the take obtained bolder. He confronted criticism for what he mentioned about Scottie and doubled down, greater than that basically, by suggesting that Scottie could not win an occasion earlier than the Ryder Cup later this 12 months.
To his credit score, Phil owned as much as his take when Scottie received the CJ CUP a few weeks in the past when it was first confirmed to be mistaken. Much more to that time, Phil supplied up one other kudos to Scottie as he was placing the ending touches on his declare of the Wanamaker Trophy.
Congrats to Scottie Scheffler on an unimaginable efficiency. Clearly #1 on the earth.
