Was dubious about his health and walking ability on that hilly course. He was a bit gimpy like some of the 60-70 year old's I often play with, but clearly his golf skills haven't diminished.
Scheffler is on quite a roll, rocketing to world #1 with three wins in recent months. But Augusta National can play tricks on the mind and still has 36 holes to navigate.
As for ESPN+, it is the only subscription service that I have (no Netflix/Apple+/Hulu, etc.). While I'm feeding the Disney mouse, the ESPN+ package provides tons of college basketball/baseball and the PGA tour that is unavailable elsewhere.

The days of a cadre of great golfers that EVERYONE knew like Palmer, Hogan, Ballasteros, Norman, etc. are gone forever. Woods was the last one. For the last 5 or 10 years it has been a bunch of faceless names.
The same is true in tennis.

Makes me think of the original version of Rollerball from back in the seventies. "No man is bigger than the game."

Except James Caan. He was a badass.
