Scottie Scheffler Gets Personal Message Minutes After Winning The Open

It wasn’t just another post. It was personal. It landed hard, especially on a day when Scheffler looked untouchable.

The world No. 1 entered Sunday with a four-shot lead. He stretched it to seven before finishing at 17-under. Harris English finished four shots behind at 13-under. Chris Gotterup came in third at 12-under, fresh off his Scottish Open win.

Scheffler, now a four-time major winner, finally added the British Open to his trophy case. He has now won every tournament where he held the solo 54-hole lead, 10 of them. And here’s a wild twist: it took him exactly 1,197 days between his first and this fourth major. That’s the same number it took Tiger Woods between his first four.

Just one more major to go, Scheffler needs the U.S. Open to complete the career grand slam.

Even Rory McIlroy, playing in his home country, couldn’t keep up. He shot a final-round 69 to finish T7. A step up from his missed cut the last time The Open came to Portrush.

But this Sunday belonged to Scottie. Not just because of the win. But because of what came after. A message that reminded him, some wins are bigger than golf.
