Very rarely do you come across moments that leave you at a loss for words. With Scottie Scheffler, it’s becoming more frequent than we writers would like to admit.

Unflappable? Inevitable? Untouchable? Try better (you can’t).

The World No.1 shot a 3-under 68 laced with five birdies, 12 pars, and one double. The last—the double on the 8th—merits a special mention, because, for 32 holes before it (some 45 and a half hours), we saw only par or better from Scottie.

Now, on a regular championship Sunday, when a leader double-bogeys (especially with a terrible mishit from a bunker like Scottie did—watch it here), there is a slight rush among fans. Because, more often than not, that double is a turning point. It could even cost someone a major.

Today, it meant almost nothing!

There was only one question: how would he respond?

The answer, a birdie. Scheffler extended his lead back to 5. Made the turn. Played flawless, ‘boring’ golf. And grabbed his 4th major. The grit, the emotion, and the passion were evident. He celebrated by throwing his cap in the air. Hugging Ted. And then kissing Merideth and Bennett.

The usual Scheffler.

And now, his run is plain ridiculous. 

Scottie is reaching the level where you can only compare him with his colleagues to describe what he does—play golf. Tiger Woods. Roger Federer. Kobe Bryant. Tom Brady. They’re his peers now.

Only the final frontier, i.e., the U.S. Open, remains. Oh, and here is a fun fact: the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open is on June 21, Scheffler’s 30th birthday. Fated? 

Well, the top of the leaderboard might have been without (a lot of) drama. But not the entire final round. From rage moments to hilarious fans, here are the top moments you definitely missed on the broadcast.

Superfan: We already talked about Irish fans and their love for Rory. But this… this, dear reader, is your fan of the week… well, the year. And he’s ready to get soaking wet to prove it, like you’ll see here.

Theatrics: It took only five shots for Sergio Garcia to snap. On the 2nd hole, the Spaniard hated his tee shot and unleashed his rage. His caddie could only watch him hulk out in utter dismay, and so will you.

Modern-day problems: In retrospect, the only hiccup Scottie had wasn’t the double bogey. It was fan interruptions at the 4th tee. Not once but twice, and Scheffler had to walk back from the tee mid-swing cuz of fans and their phones, of all things, as you can see below:

Helping hand: Daniel Berger drove the green on Par-4, 409-yard 17th. But wait… not the way you think. He had a helping hand from a fellow pro. Watch one of the most bizarre drives in major history.

Class apart: Justin Rose finished his day at 2-under for a T16. Far from his dream of becoming the second English golfer since Nick Faldo to lift the Claret Jug. But did that affect his love for his fans? This interaction with this little fan will answer that for you.

This is the first time that in two consecutive years, the PGA Championship and the Open Championship had the same winners. And with that, the last major of the year ends, and we are exactly 264 days away from the Masters. Which brings us to…

You might have been too busy catching up on Scottie. But did you see the defending champion pulling off this gem of a putt? 40-footer. Downhill. A perfect read from Xander. Let’s break down how we, the weekend warriors, can pull off monster putts like this:

These three tips will help you get better at nailing those long downhill putts. But what if your putter isn’t right for you? Well, here you go:

So, Scottie Scheffler once again showed he is the most dominant player in the world right now — at this point, even his son knows how to pose for pictures. All in all, it was a good day for Americans on the greens—seven players in the top ten. Chris Gotterup completed his first visit to the UK as a professional golfer in remarkable fashion, winning the Genesis Scottish Open last week and finishing third in his Open debut.

But ultimately, links golf remains the most exhilarating form of the sport you can play. It somehow always manages to separate men from boys. Some of the shots that you get to see, like this one from Haotong Li, and some of the battles that are waged against the elements, can rarely be replicated on parkland courses back home.

The fans in Northern Ireland have been incredible too. Hopefully, the Open returns to Portrush, or another Irish course, sometime soon. P.S.: We hear Portmarnock is a possibility. Can’t wait!
