One of the game's curiosities is that Scottie Scheffler is still only 27 which makes him younger than Matt Fitzpatrick, while Jordan Spieth, who will be 30 in nine days, looks relatively ancient.
Scheffler’s first taste of links golf came just two years ago when he was 12th at the Scottish Open where his second competitive round on seaside turf was an eight-under 63. A week later he finished 8th at The Open at Royal St George’s where he and Jon Rahm were paired together on the Sunday in the third last group out.
