Scottie Scheffler Owns the Moment With Response to PGA Tour's Message originally appeared on Athlon Sports. World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler just started his newest campaign to bring home a Claret Jug, which is something that's still missing in his otherwise stacked collection of achievements.

Scottie Scheffler delivered another example Saturday (July 19, 2025) at the British Open's Royal Portrush why he has dominated golf the last three years. He was the only player in the last eight groups not to make a bogey on his way to a 4-under 67 that allowed him to open a four-shot lead as he goes for the third leg of the career Grand Slam.

The tournament was already under a cloud after a volunteer security guard was tragically killed in a collision with a shuttle bus outside the course. Amid the chaos, Scheffler attempted to drive past police directing traffic and was promptly detained and led away in handcuffs, with dramatic footage quickly going viral.

The British Open is now in the hands of Scheffler, who has won his last 10 times when he had the 54-hole lead and didn’t show anything on a stunning day

He’s the type of player who can cause a championship to feel like it’s over simply by the way he approaches each new task in front of him.

Rory McIlroy gave the home crowd plenty to roar about on Saturday, but he's playing a distant fourth on the leaderboard

Scottie Scheffler is living up to his status as the top favorite to win the Open Championship by taking the lead after the second round.
