Unless your name is Scottie Scheffler, winning is surely the hardest achievement in golf.
And of course it is difficult. That is what makes it so worthwhile.
But consider how hard it was for Charley Hull to get over the line for her third LPGA Tour win and how impossible it proved for her forlorn opponent, Jeeno Thitikul - the world number one no less.
Consider also how Luke Donald is turning to virtual reality and detailed recces to try to achieve the holy grail of an away win in a Ryder Cup. Nothing is being left to chance, it seems, to acquire the sweet taste of victory.
