Wyndham Clark leading by 6, but of the 5 players in joint second place, Scottie Scheffler is probably the one most likely to make a challenge to him.

Great win for Wyndham Clark, leading from the front all the round.

Watching the Scottish Open - Rory after a shit tee shot "Oh My God, I am so bad at golf!!" Bless him!

[Villa Lew]

Yeah and he ending up scoring a 64, joint best round of the day!

As we all know the last time England won the World Cup was 60 years ago, well with the Open starting tomorrow at Royal Birkdale, the golfing chat is can an Englishman win The Open in England for the frst time since Tony Jacklin did it in 1969. Well the bookies have got Scheffler as favourite at 15-2 then Rory 8-1 and then Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood both 14s. What a day Sunday would be if either of those two won the Open and England won the World Cup!

It will only be 'coming home' if Robert McIntyre or Jack McDonald wins it. C'mon Rory and Shane!

I see that the R&A have again said they're looking to hold a future Open at Portmarnock

That'll be fine in Britain and Ireland, where it's correctly referred to as The Open.
However, when the American's call it The British Open, what will be the reaction ?

I’d imagine the Irish will quite rightly tell them where they’re going wrong.

After 2 sensational 62s from Herbert and Burns earlier in the day, the last couple of hours has been a good watch, with good golf from Hatton and Fleetwood, keeping them in contention, I hope I'm wrong but after 2 quality rounds from DeChambeau, he looks like he is now the favourite to win it.

DeChambeau now given a 2 shot penalty after he was ruled to have inavertently improved the area of his intended swing on the fifth hole and now 3 off the lead.

Oh no! What a shame.

It would be rude to nitpick with visitors, especially ones as fine and upstanding as American golf fans.

In any case, we don't tend to quibble over such minor matters of nomenclature. Hence it's still the RNLI, RDS (Royal Dublin Society), RCSI) Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland etc. over here.

Superb birdie on the 18th wins it for Ryan Fox and he becomes the first New Zealander to win the Open since 1963 at the grand old age of 39. Good effort from Tommy Fleetwood ending up in joint 4th place.

"Bryson DeChambeau asked for Donald Trump to be included in the tense stand-off with Open officials that resulted in the American being hit with a two-shot penalty, a report has claimed."
