2025 British Open Championship Highlights

CaddyBytes Recap: Scotty Scheffler made it look inevitable on Sunday at Royal Portrush, closing out the 2025 Open Championship with the kind of steady, ruthless control that separates the world No. 1 from everyone else. Entering the final round with a four-shot cushion, Scheffler wasted no time sending a message — stuffing an iron close at the 1st and immediately stretching the lead. While the chasing pack tried to light a spark — Rory drawing huge roars from the Northern Ireland crowd, Bryson storming up the leaderboard after his disastrous opening round, and several players making late charges — Scheffler stayed calm, methodical, and deadly. Even a rare double bogey briefly tightened things up, but Scheffler responded exactly like champions do: instant bounce-back, no panic, and the lead was safe again within minutes. By the closing stretch, it was all about damage control and clean execution. Scheffler kept finding fairways, hitting pin-high irons, and draining the pressure out of the tournament until it was officially his. When the final putt dropped, it was history: Scotty Scheffler wins the 2025 British Open, claims the Claret Jug, and secures the third leg of golf’s Grand Slam — another major title stamped with total dominance.
