Royal Troon Is Absolutely Destroying The World’s Best Players At The Open Championship

The final major of the 2024 season has reached the weekend, and it’s setting up for an electric finish. Shane Lowry leads the way atop the leaderboard as he seeks his second Open Championship title, but he has plenty of challengers within striking distance. Englishman Justin Rose is seeking to become the first British winner since Nick Faldo, while Cinderella story Daniel Brown is trying to do the same. Russell Henley is making a charge up the leaderboard, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler remains in the mix as well. Any of these contenders could hoist the Claret Jug come Sunday evening and the journey to get there should be a treat for golf fans.

Scotland has given the best golfers in the world everything they can handle during the first 36 holes of this year's Open Championship: 30-mile-per-hour winds have howled across the dunes of South Ayrshire, forcing players to take two, three, or sometimes even four extra clubs just to counteract the gale. We've seen 6 irons from 150 yards on par fours that play under 400 yards total; we've seen par fives that are ordinarily reachable in two require three excellent shots just to hit the green; and we've seen 400-yard drives on holes that play downwind.
