PGA great Justin Thomas sits down with SportsGrid's Smylie Kaufman to peel back the layers on how good Scottie Scheffler is. It's a rare pro-on-pro open analysis.

Thomas went on to admit that he has his own superstitions and won't use a ball with the number 4 on it. But Scheffler's aura looms so large now that he and Pepper had barely begun to bust his chops before Thomas wondered if it might be worth pursuing, if only to catch some of that No. 1 magic.

Count Ben Crenshaw among the pros who wouldn’t play a ball numbered higher than four – that’s the highest score he wanted to make on any hole. Ernie Els was known to change golf balls after a birdie – he believed that a ball only had one birdie in it. But Scheffler seems immune to the number game.
