Scottie Scheffler improved upon his own greatness — and golf is left to reckon with it

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Come and get me. 

This is the message Scottie Scheffler has delivered — in a subliminal way — to the rest of the golf world. 

That was a recurring theme heard from those competitors of the 29-year-old world No. 1 who nearly lapped the field en route to winning the 153rd British Open on Sunday at Royal Portrush. 

Scheffler’s final margin of victory at the Open was four shots, but it felt like double that with the way he completely controlled the tournament, particularly the final 36 holes.
