T1	Second round Friday, 18 July 2025 Scottie Scheffler shot the low round of the week to that point with a seven-under-par 64 to take the lead by one shot over Matt Fitzpatrick. Scheffler became the first world number one to hold the 36-hole lead at the Open Championship since Tiger Woods in 2006. 2023 champion Brian Harman shot a bogey-free six-under-par 65 to sit two shots back of the lead alongside first round co-leader Li Haotong. Exactly 70 players made the cut in the top 70 and ties format. The cutline was 143, the same mark as the previous playing of the event at Royal Portrush in 2019. Notables to miss the cut included 2021 champion Collin Morikawa, 2022 champion Cameron Smith, and 5-time major champion Brooks Koepka. None of the nine amateurs in the field made the cut, which meant that the silver medal would not be awarded for the first time since 2019. Place Player Score To par 1 Third round Saturday, 19 July 2025 Scottie Scheffler, who was looking to win his second major of the season, shot a bogey-free, four-under 67 and established a four-shot lead. This was Scheffler's fourth 54-hole lead in a major championship; he had converted each of the previous three into wins. Li Haotong, who was ranked 111th in the Official World Golf Ranking entering the week, shot two-under 69 to put himself in solo-second heading into the final round. 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick shot even-par 71 to fall into third place. Rory McIlroy shot five-under 66 to put himself into a tie for fourth place. On the 11th hole of his round, he hit a shot out of the rough which revealed a hidden ball buried beneath his ball. He ultimately bogied the 11th, but bounced back with a 56-foot eagle putt on the par-5 12th. Harris English, Chris Gotterup and Tyrrell Hatton all shot rounds of three-under 68 to join McIlroy in fourth place. Defending champion Xander Schauffele shot five-under 66 to sit in eighth place. Brian Harman made a double-bogey on his first hole en route to a two-over 73. Twin brothers Nicolai Højgaard and Rasmus Højgaard also tied for ninth place entering the final round, at six-under-par for the tournament. John Parry recorded an ace on the 13th hole. It was the first hole-in-one made by any player in the tournament. The scoring average was 69.97, as the winds were calm and the greens had been softened by rain in the previous days. This was first round of the Open Championship with a scoring average below 70 since the final round of the 2022 Open Championship. Place Player Score To par 1 Final round ''Sunday, 20 July 2025'' Summary shot his fourth consecutive round in the 60s with a three-under 68 to maintain his four-shot advantage and win his first Open Championship and second major championship of the year. Scheffler, who began the round four ahead of Haotong Li, hit his approach on the par-4 first hole to within two feet for a birdie. He made two more birdies on the front-nine and led by as many as seven shots before finding a bunker off the tee on the eighth hole. His second shot hit the lip and stayed in the bunker, and Scheffler ended up with a double bogey, his first bogey or worse since the 11th hole in the second round, to see his lead cut to four. Scheffler responded by hitting his approach shot within five feet on the ninth hole for a birdie, taking a five-shot lead into the back-nine. He then got up-and-down from off the green for another birdie on the par-5 12th to reach 17-under and made par on his last six holes. No one could get closer to four shots during the round. Scheffler's playing partner, Li, bogeyed two of his first four holes. Five players were tied for second place at 10-under at one point on the front-nine. Chris Gotterup made birdie at the ninth to reach 11-under, while Li made a 27-foot putt from off the green for birdie at the 11th. Gotterup also birdied the 12th, while Harris English holed a 33-foot eagle putt on the same hole to reach 11-under. English also made a 42-foot birdie putt at the par-3 16th, then birdied the 17th to shoot a five-under 66 and finish at 13-under for the tournament, the second time he had finished runner-up to Scheffler in a major during the year. Gotterup, who only got into the tournament by winning the Genesis Scottish Open the previous week and was playing on his 26th birthday, parred his last five holes to finish at 12-under and alone in third place. Li double-bogeyed the 14th before birdies at the 15th and 17th brought him back to 11-under and a tie for fourth place with Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick. Hometown favorite Rory McIlroy was two-under on his front-nine and tied for second until a double bogey at the 10th. He rebounded with two more birdies for a two-under round of 69 and ended up at 10-under, in a tie for seventh place. Bryson DeChambeau shot a final round 64, tying the best round of the tournament. DeChambeau finished in a tie for tenth. Final leaderboard Place Player Score To par Money 1 Scorecard Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Par 4 5 3 4 4 3 5 4 4 4 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 4
