Scottie Scheffler effortlessly secured his inaugural British Open triumph at Royal Portrush, winning by a margin of four shots. The American world number one maintained his supremacy from the start, finishing the tournament with a clinical final-round 68 to claim his fourth major championship.

Despite hopes for a competitive battle, Scheffler remained untouchable, maintaining his lead and finishing ahead of Harris English, who took second place. Rory McIlroy, a fan-favorite, struggled to overcome his six-shot deficit and ended up tied for seventh place.

Scheffler, who has now claimed three legs of a career Grand Slam, needs only a U.S. Open title to complete the set. Throughout the tournament, he demonstrated consistency, recalling the dominance of Tiger Woods, with a steady performance that showcased his prowess in the sport.
