Lord Byron, who won a record 11 tournaments in a single season, famously gave up golf once he’d made enough money to buy the North Texas ranch he’d always wanted. Nelson had many fine qualities as a golfer, but quality of life remained his ultimate goal. Couldn’t help thinking of Byron last week while listening to Scheffler.

Scheffler cruised to his first British Open title, his second major win of the year and his fourth career major victory on Sunday, finishing at 17-under, four shots ahead of second-place Harris English and five ahead of New Jersey native Chris Gotterup, whose third-place finish was the best major performance of his career.
