Another major championship means another opportunity for Scottie Scheffler, but success at the Open Championship and golf in general isn’t what fulfills the American.

The Texas native is in rarefied air, however, having already proven his ability to build off the momentum of a win this season with back-to-back victories in May, first finishing 31-under at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in front of his family and hometown crowd, followed by the PGA Championship just 14 days later.

"I love getting to live out my dreams. But at the end of the day, sometimes I just don't understand the point.”

Scheffler said winning golf tournaments, which he has done 21 times at various levels – including an Olympic gold medal last year – did not satisfy him. “This is not a fulfilling life. It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment but it’s not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart,” the 29-year-old American said.

For all his undoubted brilliance, the 29-year-old knows it is what happens at The Open, this year or any other, that will define whether he’ll truly become an all-time great.

Scheffler may be indifferent to obtaining another accolade, but there appears to be no stopping his top-notch play
