Scottie's stellar statspublished at 19:13 British Summer Time 20 July

Scottie Scheffler turned the Open Championship into an exhibition in the end as he almost lapped the field, and it's clear where he dominated stats-wise.
His approach play is his trademark and again he was other worldly with the irons, but this week he had his putting boots on too as he nailed some crucial putts throughout the week - especially on Sunday.
Don't worry about the around the greens stats - they get skewed when you hit as many greens as he does.
Overall - a masterclass.
Strokes gained stats:
- Off the tee: 48th
- Approach: First
- Putting: Second
- Around the greens: 125th

There's an absolutely adorable moment as Scheffler's son, Bennett, tries to reach his dad at the top of the green after the presentation.
There's a couple of falls on the way up the slope, but he's greeted by encouraging cheers from the grandstand as he eventually makes it and Scheffler scoops up both his son and the Claret Jug.

'It sucks for us!' - Schauffele on Scheffler brilliancepublished at 19:00 British Summer Time 20 July

Dethroned Open champion Xander Schauffele has been reflecting on the dominance of Scottie Scheffler:
"He's incredible. He really is.
"I don't think we thought the golfing world would see someone as dominant as Tiger come through so soon, and here's Scottie sort of taking that throne of dominance. You can't even say he's on a run. He's just been killing it for over two years now.
"He's a tough man to beat, and when you see his name up on the leaderboard, it sucks for us."

We may not be able to compare the longevity of the players yet, but the way he is dominating the game is very much akin to the way Tiger Woods did at the peak of his powers.

When the emotion does come pouring out, it shows how much was inside him that he's kept subdued to stay in the moment and do his job.

There were muted celebrations until he saw his wife and son at the side of the green.
