The PGA Tour headed to Royal Portrush golf club in Northern Ireland this week for the 2025's 'The Open (also known as the British Open in the United States) as a familiar face, Scottie Scheffler, finished with a field-best -10 score after two rounds on Friday.

Royal Portrush’s first hole looks rather innocuous, a straightaway 420-yard par-4 slightly up the hill. Two bunkers dot either side

The top two golfers in the world are firmly in contention at The Open with Scheffler out in front entering another major championship weekend

As for his performance at The Open Championship, Scheffler finished the first round tied for sixth spot through 18 holes with a 3-under score. He had bogeys on the ninth and 11th holes, but recovered down the stretch, with a pair of birdies on the final three holes.

The Open Championship is being played outside Great Britain for only the third time in the event’s 153-year history. On each occasion – in 1951, 2019 and now 20

Brian Harman took dead aim in a mild breeze and surprising sunshine Friday at Royal Portrush for a 6-under 64 that sent him into the weekend hunting another British Open title. He was called the “Butcher of Hoylake” when Harman won the claret jug at Royal Liverpool two years ago because the British press was fascinating by the Georgia native’s love for hunting.
