As I watched JJ Spaun make a remarkable closing-hole birdie to win his maiden Major Championship at the US Open, I reflected on how different I’d have felt about his victory a couple of years ago. Spaun is very much in the Scottie Scheffler mould – he’s not brash, extravagant or flamboyant. He doesn’t get too high or too low. If we’re being honest, he’s not the most riveting player to watch.

In the past, I’ve tended to root for the likes of Bryson DeChambeau over the slightly robotic professionals such as Spaun, Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. But, given the wider context of men’s professional golf, I’ve pivoted somewhat. I’m now happy to support those who behave with dignity and retain a sense of perspective, because plenty of other professional golfers have gone the other way. I suppose if people keep throwing money at you, eventually you’re going to develop a superiority complex.

You have to go all the way back to 2018 for the last time the US Open was won at par or worse, when eventual champion Brooks Koepka valiantly outmanoeuvred the field at a feisty Shinnecock Hills. Since the turn of the century, five other US Open winners have secured the coveted Major with a score of par or worse, but do we want to see more stern tests for the best players in the world?

Despite only starting out on YouTube to boost his coaching profile and pad out his teaching diary, Rick Shiels has become one of the most trusted authorities in terms of golf equipment reviews. It's been quite a journey for the man from Bolton, who has risen to international stardom and recently started working with LIV Golf, a move he admits he received some backlash for. It's not the first time he's been under the spotlight in his career, though.

A topic I feel quite strongly about. My words for @golfmonthly - Pampered Professional Golfers Skipping Media Duties Is Ignorant, Short-Sighted and Misguided https://t.co/oOrvN9BlGN
Hey @SkySportsGolf, there are other people in the field apart from Rory McIlroy. Maybe focus on some of them too? #themasters
Really bizarre from the @SkySportsGolf commentary team. Justin Rose absolutely flushed it today and played a sublime round, yet they’re saying he needs to go to the range because of two bad drives. The guy is three shots clear, give him some credit! #TheMasters
