Scottie Scheffler Wins British Open Fourth Major Northern Ireland

Scottie Scheffler secured a dominant victory at the 2025 British Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, claiming his fourth career major and first Claret Jug by four strokes. The World No. 1 entered the final round with a four-shot lead and extended it to seven at one point, finishing with a 3-under 68 and an overall score of 17-under. Scheffler's performance highlighted his exceptional ball striking and putting, leading in both Strokes Gained: Approach and Putting, and marking his second major win of the year after the PGA Championship. With this win, Scheffler has now completed three of the four legs of the career Grand Slam, with the U.S. Open being the only major left to conquer. His consistency is underscored by his 149-week run as World No. 1 and his record of winning his last ten tournaments when leading after 54 holes. The runner-up was Harris English at 13-under, while local favorite Rory McIlroy finished tied for seventh at 10-under.
