Somethings the chalk factor occurs.
Two rounds into the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush… the primary participant on this planet is taking part in precisely like that. Scottie Scheffler is right here and he’s on hearth, of us.
Scottie Scheffler’s 8 birdies immediately tie a profession excessive in any main championship spherical. He is executed it twice beforehand on the PGA in 2020 and 2025.

Scheffler fired an unimaginable spherical the place he went 7-under on Friday, good for the spherical of the day at Royal Portrush. For what it’s value Brian Harman, Chris Gotterup and Bryson DeChambeau every carded rounds only one stroke again.
However on the finish of the day Scottie Scheffler is Scottie Scheffler and he’s reminding everybody of that truth with the brightest lights turned on. Harman lurks at T3 (-8) and Matt Fitzpatrick is one stroke again of Scottie, who’s 10-under for the event, so there are main champions nicely inside putting distance… however coming away with the Claret Jug this weekend goes to be a tall process for the sector towards Scottie as they’re totally and completely in his world proper now.
A win on Sunday would put Scottie 75% of the best way by means of the profession grand slam as he holds two Masters inexperienced jackets and the Wanamaker Trophy that he gained this 12 months.
It type of appears like future at this level. How might you presumably guess towards it taking place?
