  • Deception (80%)
    The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. The author uses emotional manipulation by describing Schauffele's performance as 'pristine', 'tranquil', and 'disconnected'. He also uses sensationalism by stating that Schauffele's final round was the 'best round he's ever played'.
