Phil Mickelson Sends Message to Scottie Scheffler After PGA Championship

The No. 1 player in the world then bogeyed both the sixth and ninth holes, ending at two over on the front nine, allowing the rest of the field to have a chance.

While Scheffler struggled at times on the front nine, he was able to birdie three holes on the back nine before bogeying the last to pick up a dominant victory in the PGA Championship.

It did not come without a fight from other players such as Jon Rahm, who had tied Scheffler on the leaderboard before struggling to end the round, resulting in an eighth-place finish.

For Scheffler, he finished 11 under on the day, grabbing a dominant five-shot victory over Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau and Davis Riley, who all tied for second at six under.

This marks Scheffler’s third career major victory during his career in the PGA as he won The Masters in both 2022 and 2024.

During the final few holes in Sunday’s final round, golf legend Phil Mickelson sent a message to Scheffler on social media before the round was even over.

“Congrats to Scottie Scheffler on an incredible performance. Clearly #1 in the world,” Mickelson posted on X.

This was nice gesture by Mickelson, who failed to make the cut in the PGA championship and one that is a clear one.

Scheffler has been the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world for quite some time now and he continues to prove why as he has dominated the PGA Tour during his career.
