Scorching takes usually show to be fallacious. That’s the reason they’re referred to as sizzling takes, in spite of everything.
You’ll recall that again in March the nice Phil Mickelson unloaded fairly the Take. He mentioned that he believed LIV’s Joaquin Niemann was the most effective golfer on this planet. On condition that Scottie Scheffler held and nonetheless holds that submit following his PGA Championship win… that was daring to say the least.
What’s extra for Phil is that the take acquired bolder. He confronted criticism for what he mentioned about Scottie and doubled down, greater than that actually, by suggesting that Scottie could not win an occasion earlier than the Ryder Cup later this yr.
To his credit score, Phil owned as much as his take when Scottie gained the CJ CUP a few weeks in the past when it was first confirmed to be fallacious. Much more to that time, Phil provided up one other kudos to Scottie as he was placing the ending touches on his declare of the Wanamaker Trophy.
Congrats to Scottie Scheffler on an unbelievable efficiency. Clearly #1 on this planet.

Phil including that Scottie is “clearly #1 on this planet” is an apparent nod to what he initially set that introduced on the firestorm to begin with.
Kudos to Phil for waving the white flag and acknowledging he was fallacious.
