THE CHAMPION GOLFER OF THE YEAR

• Scottie Scheffler put on a masterclass at Royal Portrush, turning a four-shot lead into a dominant victory. We break down his fast start, the shocking double bogey on 8, and the champion's bounce-back that sealed the deal.
• Scheffler: "From a mental standpoint... that was one of my best performances mentally that I can remember."
• On comparisons to Tiger Woods' major pace: "I still think they're a bit silly... I just got one fourth of the way there."

• Rory on Scheffler: "He's the bar that we're all trying to get to right now."
• Bryson DeChambeau provided the week's biggest turnaround, firing a 65-66 on the weekend to jump to T-10 after an opening 78.
