The author makes a few statements that are not backed up by evidence or data. There is an appeal to authority in the mention of Martin Kaymer's performance in 2014 and Tiger Woods' past achievements. Additionally, there is a slight overgeneralization when stating 'the last three times McIlroy has made a bogey-free start at a major, he’d gone on to lift the trophy'. This creates an impression that may not be entirely accurate without proper context. These issues lead to a score of 90 out of 100.

The author makes several statements that contain informal fallacies. In the first example, the author uses an overgeneralization when stating 'They say you can't win a major championship on Thursday'. This statement is not always true and is based on a common belief rather than fact. In the second example, the author uses an appeal to emotion when describing Matteo Manassero's shot on hole 10 as 'showing off Pinehurst's teeth in the process'. The author is attempting to elicit an emotional response from the reader rather than providing objective analysis. Lastly, in the third example, the author uses a hasty generalization when stating 'We just rarely see these players truly challenged in modern golf'. This statement is not based on fact and is a sweeping assumption.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'Scheffler is No. 1 in the world, followed by Schauffels and then McIlroy.' This statement is not a logical conclusion or an argument, but rather a factual statement that does not require justification. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric used to describe McIlroy's performance as 'unquestioned star' and 'definitely helps' in regards to being in the group with Scheffler and Schauffele.
