The final round of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush will feature Scottie Scheffler trying to convert a four-shot lead into his first Claret Jug and fourth career major title. Scheffler put distance between himself and the field with a Saturday 67 to reach 14 under, four clear of Haotong Li (-10) in second.
Scheffler and Li will go off in the final game on Sunday afternoon in Northern Ireland with a 9:30 a.m. ET tee time beginning the leaders’ time on the course. Topping the chasers behind the final pairing will be Rory McIlroy (-8), whose scintillating 66 moved him into the top 5 and the penultimate group alongside Matt Fitzpatrick (-9), teeing off at 9:20 a.m. A massive crowd will be right by his side attempting to push McIlroy toward an unbelievable comeback win.
Chris Gotterup (-8) and Harris English (-8) have the unenviable task of being the opening act for McIlroy’s group; they’ll go off at 9:10 a.m. and try to conjure up something special to apply a little pressure to Scheffler.
For those looking to enjoy some early morning golf, Jon Rahm (-2) and Akshay Bhatia (-2) tee off at 6:10 a.m. as they look to find their way into a top 20 position with Bryson DeChambeau (-2) and Nathan Kimsey (-2) together for the second straight day as DeChambeau has shaken off an opening 78 to play the last two days in 9 under. Tommy Fleetwood (-3) and Justin Thomas (-3) at 6:50 a.m. will be a fun early group to follow as well, but it’s all setting the table for the afternoon when Scheffler looks to take another step towards golf immortality.
