The final round of the British Open is underway, and it feels like it’s Scottie Scheffler’s to lose.<\/p>\n
Scheffler entered Sunday’s round with a massive four-shot lead<\/a> at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, which has him on the cusp of claiming his fourth career major championship and his first ever Claret Jug. The top-ranked golfer in the world fired a bogey-free round on Saturday with ease, and nobody else seemed able to even make a dent in his lead.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n [Watch British Open Round 4 on NBC Peacock]<\/a><\/p>\n We’ve been here plenty of times before. Scheffler has won all three of his other major championships after holding a 54-hole lead. He’s actually won his last nine tournaments when he’s held the lead at that point of an event, too.<\/p>\n Chasing him are Haotong Li, who started the day four back, Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory McIlroy \u2014 who is starting six shots back despite his own impressive 5-under outing on Saturday.<\/p>\n Scheffler’s win on Sunday isn’t guaranteed by any means. There is still a lot of golf left to be played. But the way he’s going, it’s going to take a lot of work for someone else to overtake him.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n How to watch<\/p>\n Live stream: Watch on NBC\/Peacock<\/a><\/p>\n Featured Group 1<\/a>: Ludvig \u00c5berg, Kristoffer Reitan TV coverage: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on NBC<\/p>\n Stick with Yahoo Sports for the latest updates from Sunday’s action in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The final round of the British Open is underway, and it feels like it’s Scottie Scheffler’s to lose.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,6987,4459,1974,82,5555],"class_list":{"0":"post-10585","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-northern-ireland","12":"tag-royal-portrush","13":"tag-scottie-scheffler","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-the-british-open"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
