Scottie Scheffler claimed a fourth major title and completed a third leg of the career Grand Slam by cruising to a dominant four-shot victory at The Open.
The world No 1 took a four-shot lead into the final day at Royal Portrush and quickly asserted further control by making three birdies in his first five holes, with Scheffler reaching the turn five ahead despite a double-bogey at the par-four eighth.
Scheffler added one more birdie to close out a three-under 68 and end the week on 17 under, with his victory - following his PGA Championship success in May - now giving him the chance to complete the career Grand Slam next June at the US Open.
