Key quotes
· 3 pulledIf Rory McIlroy is still seeking his 'next Everest', he need look no further than new Open champion Scottie Scheffler.
Even in a season when the Northern Irishman completed the career Grand Slam by winning the Masters, after claiming a second Players title and landing the Pebble Beach signature title, he trails the player now clutching the Claret Jug by a substantial margin.
McIlroy is the world's second best player and, in that regard, the rankings do not lie.
