Golf Digest on MSNBritish Open 2025: Robert MacIntyre's incredible club toss shows just how firm links golf courses areBritish Open Saturday was a WILD ride that included Justin Rose's pair of shanks (!), Rory McIlroy hitting a pair of golf balls at the same time (!!) and even a happy (!!!) Tyrrell Hatton. And then there was one of the craziest club throws you'll ever see.
Factoring in the weather, the competition, the golf course and more, Tyrrell Hatton has concocted the perfect number at the 2025 Open.
The simplest one is to wager on the in-form golfers, a list led by Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy may get the nod over Scheffler in some circles this week because he's playing on home soil at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
Rory McIlroy drew one of the great gallery roars of his life on Saturday at the British Open. Matt Fitzpatrick once again holed a miraculous eagle chip. Chris Gotterup and defending champion Xander Schauffele charged up the leaderboard. We even got a smile out of Tyrrell Hatton after a brilliant eagle of his own.
A thrilling 2025 golf season has reached its final major as The Open Championship continues its 153rd playing on Friday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The oldest golf tournament in the world is back in Portrush for the first time in six years with the Claret Jug set to be awarded on site Sunday for just the third time in event history.
