Scottie Scheffler wins Open Championship for third leg of career Grand Slam

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland -- Scottie Scheffler captured the third leg of the career Grand Slam on Sunday, cruising to a four-stroke victory in the Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

Scheffler became just the fourth player in Open Championship history to shoot 68 or better in all four rounds, joining Collin Morikawa (2021), Henrik Stenson (2016) and Jesper Parnevik (1994).

The start of Scheffler's final round was ideal. From the first cut of rough, Scheffler hit his approach to the right side of the green on the slope. The ball trickled back and then rolled down to 10 inches from the cup for a tap-in birdie.
