Harris English

Harris English came second to Scottie Scheffler at The 153rd Open having been among the leaders after the opening round at Royal Portrush.

This came two months after he finished T2 in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow - where Scheffler was also triumphant - after a closing round of 65.

While English managed his best results in a major in 2025, he has also previously come third, fourth and eighth in the US Open.

The American - part of Keegan Bradley's Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black - ended more than seven years without a PGA Tour victory by beating Joaquin Niemann in a Sentry Tournament of Champions play-off in Hawaii at the start of 2021. With it he entered the game’s top 20 for the first time and after adding the Travelers Championship five months later following a marathon eight-hole play-off against Kramer Hickock he entered the top 10.

The most recent of his five PGA Tour titles was the Farmers Insurance Open in January 2025.

As an amateur he won on the Nationwide Tour in 2011, the year he played in the Walker Cup at Royal Aberdeen alongside Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay, winning both his singles.
