If Scheffler can hold and win tomorrow, he will be three -quarters of the path to the Slam career and will win his second major tournament of the year. Scheffler won the PGA championship in May.

If Scheffler won the open Sunday, he will join an exclusive list of players to win the Masters, the PGA championship and the open before being 30 years old.

The only three players to achieve this feat are Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

While Scheffler remained first in the top of the ranking, there was a lot of movement behind him.
