Scottie Scheffler claimed victory at The Open Championship, dominating the final round at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

In the end, Scheffler fell just short of Woods’ record but secured a four-shot victory, finishing 17 under par. Harris English finished in second place, four shots behind Scheffler.
