Scottie Scheffler needed just two shots to remove any drama from Sunday at the Open Championship.
His tee shot into the light rough and the approach to 14 inches on the first hole at Royal Portrush made it clear that Sunday would be a four-hour coronation, not an electric chase from the field.
The entire afternoon was trademark Scheffler, with the 29-year-old picking apart the iconic venue using clinical precision to stretch his lead to seven at one point. The trophy engraver could have taken the rest of the day off, as both he and Scheffler’s work was done early.
