The Claret Jug is up for grabs today as the final round of the Open Championship unfolds at Royal Portrush. All eyes are on Scottie Scheffler, who holds a commanding four-shot lead heading into the final day. Can he convert his advantage into a historic victory and become the first World No. 1 to claim the Champion Golfer of the Year title since Tiger Woods in 2006?

Scheffler is scheduled to tee off at 2:30 pm BST, playing alongside his closest competitor, Haotong Li. Li, a 29-year-old, enjoyed a promising Open debut in 2017, finishing third. However, his recent Open appearances have been less successful, with missed cuts in his last three attempts.
Local favourite Rory McIlroy is also in contention, sitting six shots behind the lead after a superb five-under 66 on Saturday propelled him into a four-way tie for fourth place. McIlroy will be paired with Matt Fitzpatrick, who occupies third place.
