Scottie Scheffler continues to impress with his recent achievements, leaving Phil Mickelson with no one to blame but himself. Scheffler’s victory at the Open in Royal Portrush marked his fourth Major win and his second in 2025, adding to his PGA Championship title. The 29-year-old has also secured four PGA Tour victories this year, solidifying his position as the World No.1.
Mickelson’s earlier skepticism about Scheffler’s success in 2025 was proven wrong once again as Scheffler triumphed. Despite Mickelson’s acknowledgment of Scheffler’s exceptional performance, the discrepancy between his prediction and reality was stark. Mickelson’s social media post praising Scheffler’s skills highlighted the irony of his initial doubt.
While Mickelson did not contend for the title, he did achieve a personal milestone by making the cut at Royal Portrush. Surpassing Gary Player, Mickelson celebrated his 103rd cut in men’s major championships, securing the second spot on the all-time list. Reflecting on his experience at The Open Championship, Mickelson expressed his enjoyment of the challenging conditions and the tournament atmosphere.
