A four-shot margin of victory at the Open led Xander Schauffele to say the world No 1 is ‘taking the throne of dominance’ that American legend once hadNo sooner had the Claret Jug been lifted high above Scottie Scheffler’s head than the scramble for superlatives began. With every word and exaltation there was also a sense that golf’s Overton window had shifted, with his peers daring to voice opinions previously beyond the pale.It was Xander Schauffele who perhaps said it best, as Scheffler was slow‑walking up the 18th, as if trying to savour every second of a first Open Championship victory.

The answer turned out to be: Scottie Scheffler.Anybody hoping for a keenly contested Open Sunday was to be sorely disappointed. Make that 10 times Scheffler has held a 54-hole lead and 10 times he has converted. Scheffler tugged his opening tee shot into the rough, triggering some sharp intakes of breath.
