Following world number one Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy yesterday was the clearest evidence I've seen of just how far off it Rory is right now. A 10 shot gap after two rounds should be evidence enough of the gulf between them, but watching them side by side in the exact same conditions showed me the gulf is probably even bigger than the leaderboard suggests.
Scheffler is in a world of his own right now. He's got the look of a man who is just out to play golf as opposed to thinking about swinging a golf club. Minimal swing thoughts, executing whatever shot is in front of him at any one time. He might be one of the more docile characters on tour and on the course he has the air of a man who's life exists outside of golf.
