"We are witnessing some serious golf here. With Scheffler, Rahm and Mcilroy going head to head. And then some extremely talented players forcing them to play top tier golf. Good time to be a golf fan."

Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy are the top three golfers in the world rankings. They are giving stiff competition to one another.
The world rankings are changing more frequently these days. Scottie took away the number one title from Rory McIlroy and then within a week, he was dethroned by Jon Rahm. On March 12, Scheffler reclaimed the title and topped the OWGR.
"He’s very impressive"- Tyrell Hatton appreciates Scottie Scheffler on his win at the Players Championship
Scottie Scheffler had a clear five-shot victory over Tyrell Hatton. Hatton finished the last round at seven par 69. He made eight birdies and a bogey to wrap up at 276.
Scottie Scheffler played really well at the tournament and impressed people with his clap-worthy performance. Tyrell Hatton also appreciated the American golfer for his win and said:
"He’s had an amazing 15-month stretch of golf. He’s very impressive, incredibly consistent. [I] played with him last Sunday and it was clear like he didn’t have his best that day, but he still hung around and had a chance there right at the end. It’s a pretty tough thing to do to be up there when you don’t have your best golf and still give yourself a chance to win.’’
Viktor Hovland and Tom Hoge finished in third position while Hideki Matsuyama in fifth. Min Woo Lee finished in a seven-way tie alongside Justin Suh, Justin Rose, Sungjae Im, Cam Davis, and David Lingmerth in the sixth position.
