Scottie Scheffler is preparing to defend his Open title at Royal Birkdale, following a missed cut at the Scottish Open. The world number one hopes the extra downtime will refresh him for the final major of the season.
Defending the Title
Scheffler, who won by four strokes at Royal Portrush last year, is looking to emulate Padraig Harrington, who defended his title at Birkdale in 2008. The American is feeling positive about his chances, having played 18 holes on Sunday and nine holes on Monday and Tuesday to get used to the golf course.
