The prestigious Open Championship, also known as The Open, is set to captivate golf fans worldwide as it returns to Royal Birkdale in Merseyside, England. This year's tournament marks a significant moment as Scottie Scheffler aims to defend his title, a feat not achieved since Padraig Harrington in 2008. However, Scheffler faces stiff competition from rivals like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, as they seek to end American dominance in the event, which has seen four of the last five champions hail from the USA.
