Golf legend Jack Nicklaus said Scott Scheffler reminded him of the golf he likes to play after watching his win at the Memorial Tournament.
Scheffler managed to beat Ben Griffin by four shots, becoming the first player since Tiger Woods (three straight between 1999 and 2001) to win the tournament in back-to-back years.
The 28-year-old has now won 16 events on the PGA Tour, with 10 of those coming since the start of 2024, and three majors, including last month's PGA Championship.
Record 18-time major winner Nicklaus said he understands the comparisons between Scheffler and himself.
"He reminds me so much of the way I like to play," said Nicklaus.
"I don't think I played nearly as well as he played. He's playing better than I played and more consistent. He's just been playing fantastic, and I love watching him.
 "He has the ability to bring his level to whatever level it needs to be.
"That's what good players do. And he's not a good player, he's a great player. Look at the record that he has had the last few years, it's unbelievable.
"Great players are ones who rise to the occasion and ones who know how to play coming down the stretch in important events.
"Ben Griffin's a nice player, Sepp Straka is a nice player, Nick Taylor is a nice player. Those were all the guys that were there basically coming down the stretch, but he [Scheffler] knows that those guys are not in his league."
