#088: Scheffler's Royal Run to the Claret Jug

Scottie Scheffler continued his historic run by winning the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, cruising to a four-shot victory at 17-under to secure his fourth major title in just over three years — matching Tiger Woods’ early career pace. His final-round 68 cemented a dominant performance, extending his streak to 11 straight top-10s and further solidifying his grip on World No. 1. The win also reshaped the Ryder Cup picture: Rory McIlroy remains the lone automatic qualifier for Europe, but Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, and Robert MacIntyre are closing in, while Sepp Straka’s recent surge adds intrigue. For Team USA, Keegan Bradley sits 10th and could become the first playing captain since 1963, thanks to a new rule allowing on-course advice from vice-captains. Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy impressed with late Open charges, and with the Olympics and FedEx Cup playoffs looming, the summer golf calendar is just heating upSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
