Scottie Scheffler emerged as the man to beat this weekend, but he isn't the only winner 36 holes into this British Open.

The Open Championship continues Friday at Royal Portrush. Scottie Scheffler headlines a jammed leaderboard. Here's how to watch all the action.

That moment arrived Thursday while Scottie Scheffler played his second shot on the 17th hole at the 2025 British Open at Royal Portrush. Scheffler, sitting to the right of the fairway and 111 yards out, hit a beautiful iron shot that landed three feet from the pin.
