Scheffler finished the tournament with a score of 17-under-par, leading by four shots after a solid final-round score of 3-under 68. The final round started strongly for Scheffler, as he opened with a birdie, which immediately allowed him to extend his lead. Within the first hour of play, his advantage grew to seven shots, showcasing his dominance throughout the final day.
During the tournament, Scheffler displayed remarkable consistency and control. Notably, he went through 32 consecutive holes without recording a bogey, a testament to his precision and mental fortitude. However, on the eighth hole, that streak was interrupted by a double bogey. Despite this setback, he promptly responded with birdies on the ninth and twelfth holes to regain and reinforce his lead, ultimately securing the victory.
With this triumph at Royal Portrush, Scheffler has now accumulated four tournament wins in the 2025 season. This count includes major victories at the Masters and PGA Championship.
