Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and others made strong gains on Saturday, but they are still far off from Scheffler, so they may be relegated to competing for second place. Full list of Sunday tee times can be found on the tournament website.

Scottie Scheffler is once again out in front with a massive lead. The top-ranked golfer in the world cruised through Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Saturday and broke open what felt like a very easy four-shot lead over the field.

Li Haotong is in contention to become the first man from China, a country of 1.4 billion people, to win a major golf championship.

Rory McIlroy climbed the leaderboard Saturday at the 2025 Open Championship thanks in large part to an electric eagle putt on the par-five 12th.

In something you'll have to see to believe, Rory McIlroy hit not only his own golf ball but a second one buried in the turf close to his on the 11th hole.

John Parry's tee shot at the 192-yard No. 13 landed at the front of the green, took a couple of bounces and hopped straight into the cup.

SHOT OF THE DAY: John Parry made the first hole-in-one at this British Open, an 8-iron on the par-3 13th hole. SAVE OF THE DAY: Scheffler was buried in deep rough behind the 11th green when he chopped it out to 10 feet and made par.

The R&A announced The Open will carry the same prize pool as 2024's record-setting purse with the winner taking home a $3.1 million check like Xander Schauffele did last year. That is a handsome payday but not one all that uncommon at this time in professional golf.
