Phil Mickelson was forced to backtrack on his previous claim after Scottie Scheffler won the PGA Championship, but still left Rory McIlroy out of his thinking.

Those three names are all current holders of major championships. Scottie’s win at Quail Hollow may be his latest major, but ever since he won his second Masters early last year we have seen a run of serious names winning the game’s most coveted prizes.

And, no, I’m not talking about Scottie Scheffler. Greg Snedeker continues to haunt me in the Golf Digest Match Play Championship. And by “haunt,” I mean OWN. I’d like to complain about the shots I was giving him,
