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).

I think Rory's back....

Would be nice to see a player like Tommy Fleetwood or Victor Hovland win.
Would be great if there was a left field winner though. Like two years ago in Brian Harman

Fox off 8.25pm nz time so great viewing. Grouped with Matty Fitzpatrick and Hideki Matsuyama so a pretty good group.

A morning to forget for Ryan Fox. 4 over after 8 holes of the 2025 Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Bot?

He's still 4 over..

Fox finished on 4 over. 8 off the lead. He will be a battle tomorrow to make the cut.

Scottie Scheffler's one shot of the lead and must be the big favourite to add to his haul of Major wins on Sunday.

Don't forget the other kiwi in the field - Dan Hillier. Shot a pretty tidy even par and sits T32. He's off early on day 2 so will be good to follow his progress tonight.

Well no surprises there, Scottie Scheffler wins another major championship.

It was a tight contest for second place, but Scottie Scheffler was much better than the rest of the field. His haul stands at five major titles and I suspect he's just getting started.

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.
