The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.

Scottie Scheffler shot a 4-under 67 at Royal Portrush Golf Club to improve to 14-under 199 – his lowest 54-hole total at a major

Scottie Scheffler took control of the 2025 Open Championship with a seven-under 64 on Friday. Scheffler owns a one-shot lead over Matt Fitzpatrick and a two-shot edge over Brian Harman and Haotong Li.
