Scottie Scheffler opens at +350 on DraftKings, making him the heavy favorite by a wide margin. That kind of number reflects what we have all watched over the past two seasons - a player operating at a level that is simply different from everyone else in the field.

This is what I want to do now. Yes, winning the Players would have been brilliant. I won the Scottish Open, which was my main goal in life apart from a major. Now, for me, it is about winning majors. With the way I am playing, the consistency and the level I know I can play at – I don't see why not.

In the buildup to the Masters last year, I was eating a lot of elk. I got this big shipment of elk and I was eating a lot of that. I didn't want elk to be the main course because I didn't know if everyone would like that. So I incorporated that into the appetisers.

McIlroy used pre-tournament media duties at the Dubai Desert Classic to assert that Hatton and Jon Rahm should settle their seven-figure penalties due to the European Tour Group for their participation in LIV Golf. McIlroy's sentiment felt especially notable because he was to spend the opening two rounds at the Emirates Club in Hatton's company. Yet there appeared no ill feeling whatsoever between the Ryder Cup teammates; as evident on the course and by what Hatton said later.

PEBBLE BEACH Collin Morikawa's tap-in birdie putt secured his first AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am championship Sunday and, quite fittingly, ended a madcap final round full of lead changes. After a long hug with his wife, Katherine Zhu, he revealed on CBS' post-round interview that she is pregnant with their first child, due in May. Morikawa said of his emotional release: It's a combination of everything. It's probably more the baby than the drought of winning.
