Rory Goes Back to Back at Augusta

Only four people have done it.

Tiger.

Nick Faldo.

Jack Nicklaus.

And now. . . Rory McIlroy.

Aside from the Southern charm and the pageantry of the Masters, Rory faced a challenge many kept buzzing about all the way through the final hole.

Plenty of folks second-guessed Rory. They felt like he was losing his grip. They saw him as one of the guys who had passed his prime.

Greatness will always be met with some form of criticism. It attracts naysayers and haters alike.

Now, as Rory makes his victory lap amid the PGA superstars, you can only imagine what will be said next.

Scottie Scheffler on a Wild Win Streak in the PGA

Scottie Scheffler is on a hot streak. While he’s not quite doing what Nelly Korda is doing in the LPGA, Scheffler is making a statement among the top golfers in the PGA. By winning 4 of his last 5 starts, Scheffler has positioned himself as the man to beat for 2024 at this point in the season.

The battle for the RBC Heritage plaid jacket saw Scheffler fend off some serious competitors like Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark, even Sahith Theegala who edged up to second place at 16 under. This win allowed Scheffler to earn another $3,600,000 on top of having recently won the Masters Tournament.

What’s next for Scheffler?

Who’s to say? Just like we saw Joel Dahmen say on ‘Full Swing’ via Netflix, “It’s so hard to win a golf tournament.” Let’s not overlook the feat that Scheffler just pulled off.

We got caught up and swept away by watching the drama play out as we saw UConn winning back-to-back NCAA championships during March Madness. That’s a feat that few colleges achieve.

Yet, what Scottie Scheffler is doing in 2024 is phenomenal and shows us how focused a pro golfer has to be to wipe out a slate of golfers hitting at 14 under or beyond. He’s doing that kind of stuff and I’m just trying to stay consistent enough to break 90 again and again.
