Shane Lowry has returned to Royal Portrush as the last man to win The Open at this year's venue, but the former champion admitted he was nervous ahead of his first tee shot

Scheffler most certainly played his way into it as he seeks a second Major of the season after winning the US PGA at Quail Hollow in May, with his unflappable and patient approach working perfectly on such a testing day, made even tougher by the slow pace of play.

The 153rd Open Championship is underway at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland on Thursday. Irish golfer Shane Lowry is among the favorites as the tournament returns to the course for the first time since his win in 2019.

Shane Lowry feels he "managed to handle" himself well during his first round of the 153rd Open Championship at Portrush on Thursday.

Lowry shot one-under for his opening round as many of the world’s best players brought impressive form to Royal Portrush.

The final major of 2025 begins on Thursday with the 2025 Open Championship, and after J.J. Spaun won the most recent major with odds longer than 100-1 at the U.S. Open, longshot bets could be a trendy way to attack the 2025 Open Championship on betting sites.

The Clara golfer took the glory six years ago and aims to repeat the feat after a very consistent year that has left him searching still for a first win. This would be some place to achieve it.

The winner of the 2025 British Open will make the same as last year's champ but more than $1 million more than the last time it was at Royal Portrush.
