Scotty Sheffller, the world number one, made waves in his pre-ournament press conference with his thoughts on the significance of winning golf tournaments. Some wondered if the three-time major champion had lost his competitive edge, but Sheffller silenced the doubters with a stellar performance in the opening round. He started strong on Thursday, then made two late birdies at hole 16 and 17 to shoot a 368, leaving him just one shot behind the early leader. This is bad news for anyone else hoping to lift the clar jug at Royal Portbrush this week. Sheffller’s performance has set the bar high and the competition is sure to be fierce. Prior to the tournament, Sheffller played a practice round on Wednesday, preparing to make his mark on the course. After starting early for round one, Sheffller will tee off in the later wave on Friday at 10:10 a.m. Eastern time alongside Shane Lowry and Colin Morau.

The opening round at Royal Port Brush was nothing short of a test of grit and adaptability, as the notoriously fickle weather forced golf’s top athletes to dig deep and adapt on the fly. Despite 31 players breaking par, the leaderboard remains incredibly tight with no one managing to pull away in the challenging Northern Irish conditions. And this is the part most people miss. With the lead at just for under, the stage is set for an epic battle where even the smallest mistake or stroke of brilliance could tip the scales. Matt Fitzpatrick, Harris English, Christian Bwittenhout, Haong Lee, and Jacob Scavison each fired stellar rounds of 67 to seize a share of the lead. For Fitzpatrick, this is more than just a strong start. It’s a long- aaited breakthrough at an open, fulfilling the massive promise he showed as the tournament’s low amateur back in 2013. Until now, Fitzpatrick hadn’t cracked the top 20 in this event despite collecting a major title and contending in Gulf’s other Mackie tournaments. This year, however, Fitzpatrick arrived at Royal Port Rush riding a wave of top form and finally launched his campaign with the electrifying start he’d been chasing. He opened with an eagle at the par 5 second and aside from a single bogey on the third hole, was remarkably steady. His day was highlighted by a jaw-dropping chip in on the 16th, recovering from trouble in unforgettable fashion. But here’s where it gets controversial. Despite the fire power at the top, three of the big favorites, Scotty Sheffller, Rory Macker, and John Rm are looming close behind, each ending their rounds under par and perfectly positioned to pounce. Could the leaders hold on, or are they simply keeping the seats warm until GF’s biggest names make their move? Sheffller, currently ranked number one in the world, showcased the kind of methodical late round charge we’ve come to expect from him. For much of Thursday, he hovered around even par before surging with birdies at the 16th and 17th, both set up by masterful iron play. Ironically, his usually unreliable pudding, especially on the slower, trickier links greens was among his strongest assets, ranking 16th in strokes gained. If Sheffller has finally solved the pudding puzzle on Link’s courses, could we be looking at a runaway champion? Or is it too soon to tell? John Rm played with trademark steadiness, going out in two under before a pair of bogeies on his back nine threatened to derail his round as the wind picked up. He recovered with a clutch birdie late, inching his way into contention as he yet again hunts for his first open title. Despite incredible consistency in this event over the years, Rahm still finds himself chasing that elusive champion golfer of the year crown. Can he put it all together this weekend? The real emotional roller coaster though belonged to Rory Mrirar. Returning to his home country with fresh memories of a painful firstround collapse in 2019, Melrose’s nerves were evident as he began his round with a bogey. But at least this time disaster was avoided from the outset. He steadied himself quickly reclaiming the lost shot and igniting the local crowd with a string of birdies to reach three under. However, a string of bogeies mid round threatened to unravel his progress. Instead of crumbling, Mel rear rallied, carding a crucial birdie at 17 to close with a flourish and keep his championship hopes alive. It’s fascinating to see how playing in front of an expectant home crowd still puts a unique kind of pressure on even the world’s best. Are these high expectations an unfair burden, or do they lift a player to new heights? A deeper dive into his round reveals just how close Melier came to losing control. Hitting from the rough was a familiar scene for him, missing 11 out of 14 fairways, a statistic that explains his swing between birdies and bogeies. The lesson for Friday. Avoiding big errors off the tea is mission critical with both Mrerar and Sheffler needing more fairways to remain in the hunt. It’s also a crucial reminder for fans and aspiring golfers alike. Sometimes sheer determination and recovery skills are as important as technical prowess in golf. Of course, star power and comeback stories grabbed attention elsewhere on the leaderboard. Two in the pack at four under a Fitzpatrick in English. The latter navigating the tournament without his usual caddy due to a surprising visa issue linked to a past drug charge. Could that disruption actually loosen the pressure for English, propelling him toward a career best finish? Bis Wittenhhat, Lee, who previously notched a top five open finish, and Olison round out the leading group. But here’s the twist. All three need to prove they can string together several peak rounds at a major, a challenge that has eluded them in the past. Will this year be different? Trailing just one shot behind, Sheffller is joined by Tier Hatton, Matthew Jordan, and Sadam Kenjer. Hatton, always a popular dark horse pick, matched the expectations with a strong showing, aiming to better his T4 best finish at a major. Jordan, a familiar face at the Open now, is chasing a third straight top 10 in the event. Kenjarner’s story stands out. is not just an upandcoming Thai star, but also an ordained monk, adding depth and intrigue to the events narrative. Do unique backgrounds like his given edge when facing a lead competition? Thursday also offered a nostalgic twist as veteran pros think Ricky Fowler, Lee Westwood, Brian Hammond, and Justin Rose all posted rounds of 69 to sit at two under. And don’t count out legends like Phil Mckelson, Sergio Garcia, and even Justin Leonard who stunned the field by posting rounds in the 60s. While cynics might question whether these familiar names can maintain form through the weekend, for now they’ve ignited excitement and a touch of sentiment among longtime fans. At one, Melier finds himself in elite company. Fellow contenders John Rahm, Shane Lowry, Phil Mckelson, and Wen Neman share his position. Lowry, who memorably won the Open here in 2019, surely knows better than anyone how quickly fortunes can change at Port Rush. All will be eager to tighten up their games, knowing just a handful of strokes separate them from the summit as the weekend looms. Struggling slightly but still firmly in the mix at even par our pre- championship favorites Xander Shui field and Robert McIntyre. Both stumbled at times but kept themselves in contention with gritty rounds that leave the door open for charge. Proof that one round doesn’t
