Scheffler Leads at -7 as Open Nears Completion

Scottie Scheffler extended his lead at The Open 2026 with a birdie on the fifth hole, bringing him to -7 for the tournament. The defending champion's consistent performance puts him in strong position as the final round approaches, with late-starting leaders facing increasing wind pressure.

Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood encountered trouble with his tee shot finding thick grass, adding to the drama at Royal Birkdale. The final few games are running late due to a rules dispute in an earlier match, creating additional tension as the championship concludes. xsportfeed.quest
