Scottie Scheffler's 2022 could be a top-10 season with a British Open win

This is the online version of our daily newsletter, The Morning Win. Charles Curtis is filling in for Andy Nesbitt.

I should have known it waking up on Friday morning and not have been surprised at all: There's Scottie Scheffler running up the leaderboard of the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.

The world No. 1 is in the hunt. And if he wins the British Open? It wouldn't be a stretch to argue that it's a top-10 all-time PGA Tour season.

Obviously, the GOAT has the GOAT season: Tiger Woods' 2000 included nine wins, three of which were majors. All-time greats like Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and Byron Nelson had ridiculous years.

Scheffler's resume? Three wins at the moment, one major (the Masters, of course). A fourth and a second major would be incredible (and, oh, by the way he was T2 at the U.S. Open!).

The question to me is whether you consider Jordan Spieth's ridiculous 2015 a top-10 year. That was: Five wins, the British Open title AND the Masters. A second-place finish at the PGA, too.

When we're talking about modern golf? Heck yeah, Scheffler's in there. But all-time? Let's see if he wins at St. Andrews, and remember: There's still plenty of golf left to play.
