    The article contains some instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority, but no formal or blatant logical fallacies were found. The author describes Scottie Scheffler's impressive golf performance and the large crowds following him during the RBC Heritage tournament. There are a few instances where the author uses descriptive language to emphasize Scheffler's dominance in golf, such as 'golf's newest sensation', 'the No. 1 player in the world', and 'incredible ball-striking'. These statements can be considered appeals to authority because they rely on the author's opinion and do not provide any concrete evidence or facts to support them. However, these instances are not significant enough to lower the score significantly.

    The article contains several instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. However, no formal or dichotomous fallacies were found. The author quotes multiple individuals, including Wyndham Clark and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who express their opinions on Scheffler's dominance in the PGA Tour and his recent performances.
    • ][U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark] said after giving it his best effort.[/
    • Scheffler has three holes separating him from a fourth victory in his last five tournaments, a level of dominance not seen on the PGA Tour since the prime of Tiger Woods.
    • [Clark] at least managed to finish his round at 6-under 65 and posted at 15-under 269.
    • No one had a chance of catching Scheffler unless the world’s No. 1 golfer made a series of blunders in the morning, and that looked improbable.
