Something that happens what happens.
Two rounds in the 2025 open championship in Royal Portrush … The number one player in the world is playing exactly like that. Scottie Scheffler is here and is in flames, friends.
The 8 Birdies of Scottie Scheffler today tied in a race in any important championship round. He has done it twice before in the PGA in 2020 and 2025.

Scheffler fired an incredible round where he was 7 under Friday, well for the round of the day in Royal Portrush. So Brian Harman, Chris Gotterup and Bryson Deschambeau, each of the cards, returns to a blow.
But at the end of the day, Scottie Scheffler is Scottie Scheffler and is stopping all that fact with the brightest lights on. Harman stalks in T3 (-8) and Matt Fitzpatrick is a Scottie forest stroke, which is 10 low for the tournament, so there are great champions at a surprising distance … but going out with the Claret jug this weekend will be a high task for the field against Scottie, since they are completely and totally in their world at this time.
A victory on Sunday would put Scottie 75% on the road through the Grand Slam of his career, since he has two Masters Green Jackets and the Wanamaker trophy that he won this year.
It feels like a destination at this time. How could you bet on what happens?
