Open Championship storylines: What to expect from Rory and Scottie, and how will Royal Portrush play
Briefly

The 2025 Open Championship is set to begin at Royal Portrush with defending champion Xander Schauffele and past winner Shane Lowry participating. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the world, respectively. Scheffler, who has not finished in the top three at the Open, still boasts strong performances on links golf courses and ranks high in putting statistics. Despite Scheffler’s strengths, other players like McIlroy and Jon Rahm also present formidable competition for the title.
Scottie Scheffler, despite not having a top-three finish at the Open, has shown he can compete well in links golf, finishing in the top 25 four times.
Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and others are certainly strong contenders to win the Claret Jug, indicating a highly competitive atmosphere at this year's Open.
