Brilliant Scheffler cruises to his 4th Major title at Open

Sunday at the 153rd Open Championship turned into golf's version of a walkover. Nobody showed up to trouble Scottie Scheffler's victory march as the world No.1 sauntered to a maiden Open title and his fourth career major win.

At Royal Portrush Golf Club, the American started his final round four shots ahead of China's Haotong Li, and even though he made a few uncharacteristic mistakes on the front nine, the field was too far behind to capitalise on them.

The twice Masters (2022 and 2024) and the reigning PGA champion, Scheffler's 68 - his fourth successive round in the 60s - gave him a 17-under par total of 267.

"I felt good amount of peace today, very much in control. Even though I had a hiccup on the eighth hole, I bounced back...Every day is a battle and I did well," a beaming Scheffler said in a greenside interview after his win.
