Scheffler reigns supreme | The 153rd Open

Scottie Scheffler completed a dominant performance to win The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush and become Champion Golfer of the Year.

The 29-year-old won by four shots after a final-round 68 to finish on 17-under-par for the week.

Scheffler went into Sunday with a four-shot lead over Haotong Li and immediately extended his advantage with a birdie on 1.

He followed that up with birdies on 4 and 5 and recovered from a rare error on 8 that led to a double bogey by sinking another birdie putt on 9.

On the back nine, he birdied the par-5 12th and played sensible golf from there, before holing out on 18 to a raucous reception.

Harris English took second on 13-under-par, with Chris Gotterup a shot further back in third, after rounds of 66 and 67 respectively.

Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick and Li shared fourth.
