DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Scottie Scheffler already received a handshake and a trophy from Jack Nicklaus forlast year. Now comes some of the highest praise of all from the tournament host.

“He plays a lot like I did,” Nicklaus said.Nicklaus, whose 18 professional major championships remain the gold standard in golf, said he never went to a tournament thinking it was his to win. Golf required preparation. It was a process of hitting fairways and greens, always improving.“I have always tried to feel like I was climbing a mountain,” Nicklaus said.

Scheffler has shown a lot of that in his three years on top of golf’s mountain.He speaks endlessly about being prepared when he stepped onto the first tee, having a plan for every hole and limiting mistakes. It has carried him to 18 titles worldwide,

for his third major.

Scheffler leads the PGA Tour in the statistic that measures tee to green, as he has each of the last two years.“They’re the standard now,” Brind’Amour said.

It has been a long time since the league has seen a run like this.Tampa Bay made three straight finals from 2020 through 2022 (with two of those seasons shortened by COVID), but no team — until now — has navigated three consecutive full regular seasons and gotten to the Stanley Cup Final in each of those years since Edmonton from 1983 through 1985. By the time this year’s title series is over, the Panthers will have played more games in a three-year span than any team in NHL history.

It’s an accomplishment, for certain. Zito wasn’t thinking about any of that after the Carolina series. There were travel plans to put together, reports to look at, somewhere between four and seven more games left in this season to think about.”I don’t think that the elation or the appreciation for the moment diminishes,” Zito said. “I think perhaps the way it manifests itself, it’s just channeled differently. ... That level of respect and appreciation for where you are, in tandem with the hunger, you want to do it again. You want to do it again. What can we start doing now? Don’t stop. Don’t get content. And those guys, they woke up with 100 texts each from everyone telling them how great they are. Everyone did. And it’s not over.”
