PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Another comparison between Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler surfaced during the final round of the British Open. This one wasn’t about numbers or trophies, but a fist pump. And it was for par.

The top-ranked golfer in the world cruised to a four-shot win at the British Open at Royal Portrush to claim his first ever Claret Jug and a fourth career major championship. As a result, that sent him back to the United States with a $3.1 million check.

When Scottie Scheffler putts the way he did this week on the greens of Royal Portrush Golf Club, it’s not a fair fight.
