Yeah devastating for Tommy. Such a deflating finish.
Keegan throws a massive spanner into the Ryder Cup though. Clearly one of the form 12 American players, so does he pick himself? Does he stand down as Captain? Surely the latter as the idea of a playing captain is both very entertaining and very outdated...

He will likely qualify as one of the automatic picks now anyway as I think since he won this recent event it puts him up there amongst the top six now.

It's Open week!!!
Royal Portrush has the honours of hosting and on the Dunluce course which is pretty dam tough. Having said that, Shane Lowry was a runaway winner there last time (2019) at -15, 6 ahead of the next best.
Already fizzing, yet 4 or so days to go!

Going to be a great week. Plenty of interesting narratives - can Scheffler get it done outside of the US? Is Rory back? Is Rahm back, or did he ever even leave? Is Xander alive?
Much like at Oakmont, feels relatively open, could be a left field winner. Especially if conditions are tough (forecast is for a bit of rain but not high winds).

Scheffler has now converted 10 straight outright 54-hole leads, a stretch that dates back to the 2023 WM Phoenix Open and includes 3 majors. He joins Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as players to win the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship before age 30.
