Scottie Scheffler is winning with such alarming regularity that describing his dominance is not a comfortable topic. So when he won the Memorial on Sunday for the second straight year, he at least had tournament host Jack Nicklaus at his side.
Nicklaus is a great authority when it comes to Scheffler because the Golden Bear sees so much of himself in the world's No. 1 player.
"Once I got myself into position to win, then you've got to be smart about how you finish it," Nicklaus said after watching Scheffler turn a tussle into a four-shot victory. "And that's the way he's playing. He reminds me so much of the way I like to play."
That's how it transpired again at tough Muirfield Village, just the way it played out when Scheffler won the PGA Championship two weeks ago.
He's always there. He rarely makes a mistake. Blink and the lead is up to four shots.
