Displaying remarkable consistency, Scheffler posted a 17-under par overall, finishing Sunday’s fourth round with a score of 68, and achieving a grand total of 267. His performance left Harris English in second place, trailing by four strokes with a day round of 66.

Scheffler's Major Triumphs of 2025

This victory marks Scheffler's second major title of the year 2025, following his triumphant showcase at the PGA Championship, which took place at the Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

With this success at Royal Portrush, only one major tournament remains for Scheffler to achieve a career Grand Slam, a rare feat that requires winning the four prestigious tournaments: The Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship.
