Columbus, OH

Royal Troon provided the most difficult opening round at The Open Championship since the 2013 of the tournament, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that a man like Shane Lowry sits near the top of the leaderboard after 18 holes of play. Carding a bogey-free 66, the 2019 champion clipped the course scoring average at Royal Troon by more than eight strokes and positioned himself one shot behind shocking leader Daniel Brown (-6). Both stand in front of notable names like Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler.

TROON, Scotland — Scottie Scheffler has won six times already this year, including a Masters and Players Championship. 

Don’t rule him out for a seventh win and a second major.

Scheffler is lurking at 1-under par after shooting 70 in the British Open first round Thursday at Royal Troon. 



This after he took three weeks off following his last victory, at the Travelers last month.

“I felt like I got settled in pretty quick,’’ he said. “After Travelers it was obviously a nice win, so it was nice to go home and relax and celebrate a little bit. I tried to practice...
