Scheffler Leads as Fleetwood Struggles at Open 2026

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler continues his strong performance at The Open 2026, birdieing the 5th hole to reach -7. His clean play has him in prime position as he navigates the challenging conditions at Royal Birkdale.

Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood's round has hit a snag after his shot disappeared into thick grass on the left side of the fairway. The final few games are running late due to a rules brouhaha in an earlier match, setting up a potentially dramatic conclusion as leaders face increasing wind and pressure on the back nine. umafrika.club
