️Updates from the final day’s play at Royal Birkdale️Official leaderboard | Mail Scott with your thoughtsAnother birdie for Scottie Scheffler! He crashes his drive at 5 greenside, chips up to four feet, and rolls in the putt. The defending champion is now -7, and if he continues like this, posts a number, and the late-starting leaders have to deal with the cranking up of both wind and pressure … well now, we’d have quite the Open.

A long way to go yet.A good couple of minutes for Ireland. Rory McIlroy finally makes a putt, on 10, while Shane Lowry holes out from a bunker at 4. It’s back-to-back birdies for the 2019 champion, who clenches a fist in celebration.

At -5, you can be sure he’s not going to admit defeat just yet. But any faint Scottish hopes of a first title since Paul Lawrie seized the day in 1999 have gone south. Consecutive bogeys for Bob MacIntyre, at 6 and 7, and he’s back to -2.
