'Special moment' - Scheffler wins The Open
Li finishes in tie for fourthpublished at 18:41 British Summer Time 20 July
Li -11 (70)

Li Haotong putts first from about 20 feet. He leaves his birdie try short but knocks in for par and a round of 70.
Playing in the final group of a major, he's held himself together well today.
He'll finish in a tie for fourth position.
Exit, stage right - as he allows the new champion to finish off.

Scheffler -17, Li -11 (17)

Scottie Scheffler gets a huge ovation as he walks up to the 18th green. He removes his white cap and takes it all in.
He'll be the Open champion in about three minutes' time.

Safe tee shot onto the fairway, safe approach onto the green.

The clamour to claim McIlroy's ball begins on the grandstand.
One final wave from him to close out an emotionally charged week.
He's given his fans plenty of moments to remember and banishes the ghost of 2019.

Their roar is the last love letter of the week from Portrush to Rory McIlroy.
He may not be leaving with the Claret Jug, but after the heartbreak of missing the cut here in 2019, he has had a week of celebration with his people.
What a week!published at 18:36 British Summer Time 20 July

Rory McIlroy taps in for a closing par and there's another rapturous round of applause from the Royal Portrush faithful - who've done their part to try and will their man to victory.
McIlroy's done his best but just did not have his top game all week. The hat comes off and there's a slightly moistening of the eyes as he shakes hands and departs the colosseum of noise.
In truth it's been a portable wall of noise that's followed him all week - his ears will be ringing for a while!

McIlroy -10, Fitzpatrick -11 (17)

No grandstand finish for Rory McIlroy as his chip just pulls up close so that will be a closing par - but first Matt Fitzpatrick will go ahead and save his par to try to bank a top-four finish.

Scheffler -17, Li -11 (17)

Back on the 18th tee stands Scottie Scheffler, who can afford to take seven on this par four and he'll be the Open champion.

Every single one of these tens of thousands in the stands have risen to salute the Masters champion.
What a celebration it has been of his feats in golf this weekend at Portrush.
He's back, he has a green jacket and he will forever be their hero.

Just looking around there is not a spare place in the stands.
There's people on every little dune, people peeking out through the gaps everywhere.

There have been people camped out at the 18th grandstand waiting for this moment all day.
You can hear the cheers getting closer and closer.
Rory McIlroy is on the way!
What a welcomepublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 20 July
McIlroy -10, Fitzpatrick -11 (17)

Thunderous welcome for Rory McIlroy as he strides onto the final green looking more than just a touch emotional.
That's not just for this week, this Royal Portrush welcome is a celebration of their hero for winning that career Grand Slam and giving them so many magical moments over the years.

Scheffler -17, Li -11 (17)

Scottie Scheffler cosies up his birdie putt to the holeside. A safe par.
He'll have a four-shot lead playing the 18th.
Li Haotong, meanwhile, holes from the bunker! He's 11 under, sharing fourth place. A birdie up the last will see him finish in a tie for third.

Groans as Rory McIlroy misses the green just to the left on 18 - those growns are about to be turned into huge cheers though...

Scheffler -17, Li -10 (16)

Scottie Scheffler finds the heart of the 17th green in two. An almost-certain par, maybe a birdie.

Scheffler -17, Li -10 (16)

Scottie Scheffler and Li Haotong have had a long wait on the 17th tee while Rory McIlroy was in strife up ahead.
Li strikes first and his drive gets a great bounce forward - almost perfectly on the green... but it kicks right at the final moment and finds a bunker. A funny comment to the crowd and a smile from the man from China, who has really endeared himself to those who have followed him around Portrush this week.
Scottie Scheffler goes into the rough to the right of the fairway but he's not in massive trouble. Certainly not the kind of trouble that will have Harris English keeping warm for a potential play-off.

There are two media colleagues who are very excited right now.
They have been beating the Harris English drum all week since getting the American in their office sweepstake and now, after four rounds, we're finally listening.
They've now turned into his biggest fans and have been cheering every birdie like it was Rory McIlroy.
If you didn't know his name, I'm sure you do now. Some performance to be best of the rest.
