Scottie Scheffler admitted he may have been too honest after reflecting on golf and life balance during The Open Championship.

Scottie Scheffler is the most dominant player in today’s game. But when it comes to links courses like Royal Portrush, which hosts this week’s British Open, he’s still a relative newbie.

Scottie Scheffler's Open approach shot was hilariously interrupted by a fart from a fan. Here's what the bemused commentators had to say.

As for his performance at The Open Championship, Scheffler finished the first round tied for sixth spot through 18 holes with a 3-under score. He had bogeys on the ninth and 11th holes, but recovered down the stretch, with a pair of birdies on the final three holes.

Scottie Scheffler raised more than a few eyebrows with an unexpected admission ahead of The Open this week. With 16 PGA Tour victories, three major triumphs, 148 consecutive weeks as world No.1 and enough riches to last him a lifetime, the 29-year-old has just about everything he has ever wanted.

That distinction belongs to world No. 1 and reigning PGA champion Scottie Scheffler. Masters — and Grand Slam — champ McIlroy is a clear second choice, with Jon Rahm, who has three top-10s in his last four Open starts, third.

Will one of the world's top golfers win The Open Championship or will a long shot come from behind to capture the weekend? Here are the odds.
