                                PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Professional athletes are not often associated with introspection, but professional golf has taken a decidedly existential turn in recent weeks.

Since winning the Masters for the first time and completing the career Grand Slam in April, Rory McIlroy publicly wrestled with the type of soul-searching that players typically try to avoid and never, if at all, speak openly about.

“I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you’ve got to make your way back down,” McIlroy said. “You’ve got to look for another mountain to climb.”

McIlroy’s return to the United Kingdom for last week’s Genesis Scottish Open, where he finished runner-up, and this week’s Open Championship, which is being played about 90 minutes from where he grew up near Belfast, has seemed to re-inspire the world No. 2.

But Tuesday at Royal Portrush brought a new level of deep thinking from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
