Scheffler’s win (0:35–4:20) : Scottie Scheffler triumphed at Royal Portrush with back-to-back positive putting rounds on Thursday and Friday, capped by a final round 68 watched by 4 million viewers. Career implications (4:20–6:10) : At 29 years old , Scheffler now sits tied 22nd in all-time majors (4 total), aiming for a career Grand Slam with only the U.S. Open missing. Conditions & performance context (6:10–8:05) : Favorable weather with minimal wind/rain made Portrush play softer, aiding low scoring. Bryson DeChambeau’s strong final three rounds highlighted how score-friendly conditions were.

Justin Thomas struggles (10:40–12:20) : Despite excellent iron play & short game , JT lost a full stroke off the tee , continuing his season-long accuracy woes, finishing T34 (-3) . Bryson fade failure (13:20–15:50) : After a 78 in round one , DeChambeau rebounded with 65-68-64 , finishing T10 , spoiling fade bets.

Futures review (21:00–25:00) : Futures on Tom Kim , Sahith Theegala , and Davis Thompson were failures, collectively costing 3 units . 3M Open preview (26:00–35:40) : Course needs long iron ball-strikers (e.g., Finau, Champ), with Will predicting -19 as the winning score under wet but playable conditions.
