    The article contains an appeal to authority when it states 'For the first time since 1982, Americans – Schauffele (Open Championship, PGA Championship), Scottie Scheffler (Masters) and Bryson DeChambeau (U.S. Open) – have claimed all four major championships.' This statement implies that the accomplishment of these golfers being significant because it hasn't been done in a long time, but it does not provide any reasoning or evidence as to why this is noteworthy beyond the fact that it is an achievement that hasn't been repeated for a long time. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article to build suspense and excitement around Schauffele's performance, such as 'it was Schauffele's winning kick,' 'a coronation,' and 'he is now firmly in the discussion as the best player in the world.' These phrases are intended to elicit an emotional response from readers rather than providing objective analysis of Schauffele's performance.
