Scottie Scheffler wins his third major championship with the classic Tour Velvet grips from Golf Pride on his clubs. (fb)

You can go ahead and ask him, but Scottie Scheffler won’t tell. The World No. 1 learned the secret to his greatness a long time ago, and then he threw away the key. But if you were looking closely on Saturday afternoon at the PGA Championship, you saw it. (Yes, for Mr. Scheffler, third rounds are equally revealing as final rounds, even when those final rounds result in Scheffler winning his third career major championship, as was the case on Sunday.) It was there, starting on the 16th hole on Saturday, that Scheffler decided to end the golf tournament early. With chasers nearing and pressure mounting, Scheffler plunged a nail into the side wall of the tournament and laughed as the air sucked out. He poured in two birdies and a par on the three hardest holes at Quail Hollow to move from one clear of the field to three, and then, when the final birdie dropped on the 18th hole, he tried something new. As the ball fell into the bottom of the hole, Scheffler stared at it and screamed. “F*** yeah, baby!!!” The crowd was too busy wailing (and the chasers were too busy commiserating) to notice what had just happened, but the keen observers knew they’d seen something interesting. Scottie Scheffler had just told us his secret. James Colgan with more on what we learned from Scottie Scheffler's PGA Championship win. 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/yzzt7ywm (fb)
