PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Scottie Scheffler was quick to point out the British Open was only at the halfway point at Royal Portrush. Considering the world's No. 1 player was in the lead , it felt like a sprint Saturday for so many players to catch up.

Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, is looking for his fourth major win — and first at the British Open. The two-time Masters winner and 2025 PGA Championship winner has yet to claim either of the U.S. Open or The Open Championship, with wins in all four securing an illustrious career Grand Slam.
