Overview

  • Scheffler seized the lead in the second round and extended his advantage over the weekend before closing with a 68 to finish at 267 (–17).
  • Harris English secured runner-up honors with a 271 (–13), while Chris Gotterup emerged as the surprise third-place finisher at 272 (–12).
  • Local favorite Rory McIlroy ended in seventh place at 277 (–10) and was never able to mount a serious challenge to the leader.
  • The victory marks Scheffler’s fourth major championship following his two Masters titles and a PGA Championship win in May.
  • Royal Portrush’s seaside links layout tested the field’s shot-making and strategy, but Scheffler’s consistency across all facets of his game proved decisive.
