Back in March, Phil Mickelon tweeted a "hot take" about Scottie Scheffler in which he predicted that the No. 1 player in the world would not win a single tournament in 2025 before this fall's Ryder Cup.

On Sunday, Scheffler won his second major of the year as he cruised to a four-stroke victory at the British Open to win his first Claret Jug. It was his fourth victory since Mickelson's tweet and was just the latest proof that Scheffler is by far the best player in the world. He won the PGA Championship by five strokes in May and has a stunning 11 straight top-10 finishes, dating back to the last week in March.
