As Xander Schauffele celebrates the first American sweep of the four men's majors in 42 years, it’s a great time to appreciate the breathtaking challenge of UK links golf at its finest.
The sport reached its peak at Royal Troon, where Xander Schauffele triumphed in a classic Open. The course tested golfers with its tough conditions, and Schauffele, the 30-year-old Olympic champion, secured his second major of 2024.
This Open featured surprising challengers, big-name exits, and a spectacular performance that earned Schauffele the Claret Jug. It contrasted sharply with the warm, generous conditions at Valhalla in May, where Schauffele won his first major title.
Troon presented a true challenge, with the unpredictable winds of the first two days proving that scores can’t just be set on the front nine but must be maintained on the demanding back nine.
