Scottie Scheffler lifts the Claret Jug after winning The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush.

2025 / Royal Portrush

Scottie Scheffler secured his place among the all-time greats with a sensational performance to win The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush.

The American earned his fourth major title thanks to a display that will live long in the memory as the Championship was staged in Northern Ireland for the third time.

Scheffler’s four-shot margin of victory – finishing the week on 17-under-par - underlined his dominance as he seized control and marched towards the Claret Jug in front of huge crowds on warm Sunday afternoon in County Antrim.

Harris English finished second on 13-under, with the previous week’s Genesis Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup one shot back in third.

While Scheffler looked to be the player in control throughout the week, he did briefly offer some hope to the chasing pack during his final round.

However the double-bogey at the 8th was followed by birdies at the 9th and 12th to lift Scheffler back to 17-under and effectively put an end to the hopes of his challengers.

After a special walk down the final hole, and being named Champion Golfer of the Year, the world’s top ranked player was reunited with family – including his 14 month old son Bennett – for some memorable scenes on the 18th green.

Record spectator numbers of 280,000 came out to watch golf’s original championship throughout the week, and home favourite Rory McIlroy, fresh from completing the Career Grand Slam at Augusta, received the lion’s share of the support as he made his own bid for a second Claret Jug.

This was something Scheffler recognised, speaking after closing out a special victory and enjoying the adulation of fans on the 18th hole.

“It's a very special walk,” he said. “To be honest with you, walking up 18, I didn't really know if I was going to get that much support from the crowd.

“The crowd, I think, wanted somebody else to win this week, and I kind of got to play spoiler a little bit, which was fun as well.

“It really was a great reception. I heard a lot of the fans supporting me out there today. It was a really cool environment to be able to play in.

“Being able to walk up 18 with the tournament in hand is a really tough thing to describe. It's a really cool feeling.

“I have a lot of gratitude towards being able to accomplish something like this. It's taken a lot of work and a lot of patience.

“It's a high level of focus over 72 holes of a tournament. This was, I felt like, one of my best performances mentally. We did a really good job of staying in it all week.”

Meanwhile, John Parry produced one of the biggest roars of the week when he managed a hole-in-one on the 13th hole during his third round.

The Englishman's ace came on the same hole Emiliano Grillo managed hole-in-one on six years earlier during The 148th Open - one of many memorable moments on the Championship's return to County Antrim.
