On Sunday, July 20, the professional golfer, 29, celebrated the special moment of his first British Open, also known as The Open, win with his 14-month-old son Bennett. After the toddler, who's always by his dad's side on the green, spotted Scheffler, he stood up and began walking toward his dad.

Scheffler recorded a pair of birdies and an eagle at the seventh hole to create the separation going into Sunday. The impressive round gave him the 54-hole lead. He is 3-for-3 in majors when he owns the lead after the third round. The latest win came at the 2025 PGA Championship.

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — A brief glance at the final round Sunday in the British Open at Royal Portrush: THE VICTOR: Scottie Scheffler closed with a 3-under 68 for a four-shot victory, his second title major of the year and fourth of his career.

Tony Finau found no joy in his final round of the 153rd British Open on Sunday, an event he finished in solo third place in 2019 at this same Royal Portrush course outside of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Finau made double bogey on holes 5 and 14 to dash any chance he had of finishing in the Top 10 if not Top 20 at the Open Championship.

With Scottie Scheffler holding a four-shot lead through 54 holes, the final round of the 2025 British Open seems like a foregone conclusion. Even for those competing against the World No. 1. But at least one golf fan is confident that there will be a final-round comeback.

If McIlroy didn’t quite deliver, then Royal Portrush — where he shot 61 as a 16-year-old for the course record — certainly did, gaining widespread rave reviews.

Scheffler enters the final day of play at the Open Championship with a comfortable lead, looking to keep his spot at the top of the leaderboard on Sunday.
