PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — The British Open had a little bit of everything Thursday, from sunshine to rain, a breeze to strong gusts. And no surprise, it had Scottie Scheffler right in the mix.
Former U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick handled the notorious “Calamity Corner” par-3 16th by chipping in for birdie. Harris English, whose longtime caddie couldn't get a travel visa for the UK because of prison time served 20 years ago, put his short-game coach on the bag and made seven birdies.
