In a commanding display of resilience, Scottie Scheffler secured his first British Open victory by four shots at Royal Portrush. With a strong start, the 29-year-old American world number one maintained his lead, reminiscent of the legendary Tiger Woods, sealing his fourth major title with a final-round 68.

Despite a stumble midway with a double bogey on the eighth, Scheffler's relentless performance overshadowed competitors. With crucial birdies on the first, fourth, and fifth holes, he calmed any potential disruptions, reinforcing his position as a dominant force in golf.

Harris English finished as runner-up, while Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy couldn't muster a comeback. As Scheffler hoisted the Claret Jug, the anticipation for his next challenge—the completion of his career Grand Slam with a U.S. Open win—continues to build.
