Stats. It’s all about what the stats say these days – and when it comes to numbers, Scheffler boasts some seriously impressive ones.

One of the most impressive stats that just goes to show how far ahead the American is of the rest of the field, is how far under par he is when looking at his total score between the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he won in early March, and the RBC Heritage title that he claimed on Monday.
A total of 11 players were a combined -10 or better and didn’t miss any cuts between the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players, Masters and RBC Heritage, all tournaments that Scheffler won.

The chasing pack could be forgiven for hoping Scheffler, who is soon to become a father for the first time, might be about to experience a few sleepless nights.
