Scottie Scheffler's Strong Start at The Open

The world number one, Scottie Scheffler, wasted no time making his presence felt during the initial stages of his opening round at Royal Birkdale. He demonstrated exceptional form by sinking birdies on four of the first six holes he played.

This rapid accumulation of red numbers early in his round immediately placed him near the top of the leaderboard. Scheffler's performance suggests he is dialled in and ready to contend for the Claret Jug.
