Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.
Scottie Scheffler Makes Personal Record at The Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
With a fourth major before his 30th birthday, Scheffler continues to distance himself from everyone else in golf today, writes Michael Rosenberg. And he’s also primed for a run at a career Grand Slam next year.
Just three days after his existential rumination on just why he plays golf and his stirring confession that it was “not a fulfilling life,” Scheffler posted an opening 68 before accelerating to the front with a career-low major round of 64 and shooting 67 to extend his lead.
Home favourite Rory McIlroy birdied three of his first holes to begin a third-round charge in perfect scoring conditions at the British Open on Saturday.
