    Dethroned Open champion Xander Schauffele has been reflecting on the dominance of Scottie Scheffler:

    "He's incredible. He really is," Schauffele said after the world number one won The Open.

    "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."

    Schauffele finished in a tie for seventh on his Open defence, wrapping up with a two-under 69 to close at 10 under par.
