A champion will be crowned. Follow along for leaderboard updates, scores, highlights and more from the final round of the 2025 British Open.
Golf's oldest championship returns to Royal Portrush. It's the third time the British Open has gone to the Northern Ireland links. Shane Lowry won in 2019.
Finau fired a 1-over-par 72 in the third round to go with his rounds of 70-68 and that effort left him watching the contenders pull away. Most of the movers and shakers fired rounds of four to five under par as Scottie Scheffler rocketed to a huge lead heading into Sunday.
Rory McIlroy will play the weekend at a Royal Portrush Open. But to contend, he'll need to straighten out his driver.
Adding to the many cool sights at Royal Portrush's historic links this week was the British Open leaderboard showing Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard in the top 10.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but it's not on the island of Great Britain. So why is it hosting the “British” Open this week?
