Now imagine what Scottie Scheffler could do if he was motivated. The world No.1, who this week revealed that through all of the accolades and adulation, he's just as stumped by the futility of life as the rest of us, holds a four-shot lead at the British Open. He's on 14-under, and has Li Haotong (10-under) – who finished 3rd at this tournament in 2017 – for company as they trek around Royal Portrush one last time.

Behind them, Matt Fitzpatrick stands alone on 9-under, one better off than Rory McIlroy, Tyrell Hatton, Chris Gotterup and Harris English. Reigning champion Xander Schauffele is one back, while Bob MacIntyre, Rasmus Højgaard, Nicolai Højgaard, Brian Harman and Russell Henley are tied on 6-under.

The Claret Jug is one of two major honors that Scheffler is yet to get his hands on, but his past showings on links courses suggest it's only a matter of time. 20 years have passed since a 16-year-old McIlroy shot a course-record 61. The layout of the Dunluce Links was altered in 2016, however, and when Royal Portrush staged the Open Championship in 2019, he missed the cut. Shane Lowry triumphed on that occasion, setting a new course record of his own. His 8-under-par 63 in Round 3 is yet to be beaten, though he's way back on +2 at the start of play.

Schauffele and Hatton tee off at 2pm BST / 9am ET; English and Gotterup tee off at 2.10pm BST / 9.10am ET; McIlroy and Fitzpatrick tee off at 2.20pm BST / 9.20am ET; Li and Scheffler tee off at 2.30pm BST / 9.30am ET.
