Scottie Scheffler is head and shoulders the best player in the world, but Rory McIlroy does not need to look far for motivation, says Iain Carter.

David Bieleski first met Rory McIlroy when they were both 16. When they met again at Portrush almost two decades later, it completed a remarkable tale of redemption.

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — Scottie Scheffler began his bid for the third leg of the career Grand Slam on Sunday, taking a four-shot lead into the final round of the British Open at Royal Portrush.

The Open Championship continued on Saturday at Royal Portrush in Antrim, Northern Ireland as Rory McIlroy and other big name golfers chased leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy found himself tied for 11th on the leaderboard at -5 as the day continued to unwind.
