Scheffler ‘living dreams’ but ‘more to life than golf’

After winning the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Scottie Scheffler states that he is “living out his dreams,” but that there is “more to life than golf.”

On the final day of Northern Ireland, the American anesthetized his rivals with a masterful display of front-running to keep his overnight four-shot lead.

The 29-year-old world number one needs just the US Open to become one of seven men competing in a career Grand Slam, having already won four majors in three years and an Olympic gold medal.

According to Scheffler, living a fulfilling life is “not something I struggle with every day” and that the zealous pursuit of success is “not a fulfilling life.”

He acknowledged that he might not have made his point as effectively as he had hoped in his opening remarks, but he continued to support his opinions.

In a world where clickbait is what customers search for, Scheffler said. It “understates” what I was trying to say, in my opinion.

I’ve spent my entire life trying to improve and make a living playing this game. The winning of the Open is a feeling that is difficult to describe, and it is one of my greatest joys.

“For it, I’m thankful,” I ask? Is it enjoyable to me? Oh my goodness, this sounds cool. However, success in life does not necessarily mean you can fulfill your most sincere desires.

That was pretty special when I saw my family, I thought.

Scheffler stated that he intends to “celebrate with the people who have helped me along the way” and that he plans to leave for Texas later on Sunday.

The crowds gave their throaty approval after he tapped in on the 18th about an hour earlier, and he immediately sought out wife Meredith.

Belatedly spotting Bennett, her 14-month-old son, and her toddling on the green, Scheffler’s typically muted response faded.

He hurled his hat into the sky, roared with joy, and hurled his arms outward toward them.

Before Scheffler returned his hat, the trio embraced, and Bennett, who was hunched in his left arm’s crook, was waiting for him.

Scheffler, who earlier in the week vowed to stop playing golf if it started to have an impact on his family, said, “When I saw my family, that was a pretty special feeling.

‘I got everything I wanted but the Claret Jug’

Images courtesy of Getty

Rory McIlroy was determined to savor every second of it.

The main attraction decided to stay alone when the Open Championship made its first appearance at Royal Portrush in 68 years six years ago. He made an effort to control what transpired during the week in his own world.

From his red-eye Monday practice round to being cheered on by thousands on the 72nd hole, he has embraced home comforts and accepted the adulation this week.

He has volunteered his time, signed numerous autographs, and acknowledged adoring fans between shots.

He even gave the Green Jacket a second chance for everyone to see.

He described a week that ended with nothing but his second Claret Jug. One of the most heartfelt rounds he has ever received was his consolation.

McIlroy admirably held it together as he strode towards the final green on Sunday. It was undoubtedly challenging.

McIlroy shot a two-under 69 to finish seven shots over Scottie Scheffler, saying, “I tried my best to keep my emotions in check, especially as I approached the last scene and that reception.”

“This week has been fantastic.” With the exception of a Claret Jug, I managed to get everything I wanted this week, mostly due to one person being a little bit better than the rest of us.

McIlroy’s career served as a microcosm of his play. He occasionally did well (Saturday’s eagle on 12), but other times he did it solo (three bogeys in four holes on Thursday and a double on Sunday).

In the end, he overtook himself in the final round. McIlroy needed quick birdies to sway the crowd and make the frontrunner as uncomfortable as possible while Scheffler was six-six.

When McIlroy wasted two shots on the 10th, it was obvious the championship was beyond his reach, despite a two-under 34 on the front nine.

The energy was different from Saturday, and the slogan “keep your head up, Rory,” which was frequently heard, was a sign that something was up.

He continued, “I felt like I did well… today, eight, nine, and ten were the ones that killed me.”

What will McIlroy do after that?

The seventh-place tie-break set the tone for McIlroy’s unforgettable major season.

He realized a lifelong ambition and, in the end, won his career Grand Slam, which culminated with his career high at the Masters. His week was overshadowed by a failed driver test and his media shutout, but he barely made it to the top 50 at the US PGA Championship a month later.

At times during the US Open, he let his temper get in the way of him, but Portrush’s emotions were much more upbeat.

Before wrapping up his season with the FedEx Cup play-offs and the Ryder Cup in New York, he can now reflect on a downtime.

“I feel like returning to Europe for a while was a nice reset,” McIlroy said, adding that he will play light football and be “fresh” for Europe’s effort to retain the Ryder Cup.

Scheffler, the bar you’re attempting to reach

During his final press conference in Portrush, McIlroy was eager to commend Scheffler. Scheffler has responded to the Northern Irishman’s victory at Augusta by double his major tally and adding two more legs to his own slam hunt.

This week, Scottie and I couldn’t hang out. He is a fantastic player. This week, he has been dominant. Sincerely, he has been in charge for a while. We are all attempting to reach him with this bar.

“In a historical context, you could argue that only two or three players have gone on a run, like Scottie has been for the past 24 to 36 months,” said one player. Amazingly impressive.

McIlroy was then questioned about the potential future Opens at Portrush after burying the pain of the year.

“I believe Portrush has quickly become one of the top two or three venues where The Open takes place. Every player you speak to this week won’t say a word about the golf course in a negative way.

The R&amp, A have worked so well with the local government to ensure everything runs smoothly, I just think the way it sets up, logistically speaking.

“It has only been six years since 2019,” the statement continued. Although it would be nice to see Portrush hold The Open every six years, I would appreciate it for the long run.

Police Commitment To Tackling Violent Crimes Through Technology — IGP

The Nigeria Police Force’s Inspector-General, Kayode Egbetokun, has reiterated its commitment to combating all forms of violent crimes, particularly those committed by kidnapping, in the country.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated in a statement that this assurance is in line with the successful outcomes of well-planned and intelligence-driven operations carried out by police operatives in Enugu and the Ogun States.

The operations resulted in the rescue of four kidnapped victims, the release of three armed suspects, the arrest of several others, and the recovery of ransom money, weapons, and other incriminating evidence.

“On July 16, 2025, police officers working in concert with local security forces in Enugu State responded to a distress call from the Okpuje-Ani community in Nsukka LGA a report of armed kidnappers being seen in a forest area. One of the armed suspects was neutralized after the operatives engaged them, while others escaped into the bush with various gunshot wounds.

An AK-47 rifle with two live rounds of ammunition was recovered at the scene. According to reliable information, members of the Anti-Kidnapping Tactical Squad detained one Aliyu Adamu, age 23, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway that day. The suspect admitted being asked by Awka, Anambra State, to carry out criminal operations in Enugu and confessed to participating in several kidnappings during interrogation, the statement read in part.

According to the Command’s operatives, on July 15, 2025, two female suspects, Juliet Chukwu (aged 39) and Nancy Chukwu (aged 40), were detained in a related development. They were apprehended after agreeing to pay a $10 million ransom to their kinsman, who they had initially asked to kidnap for $ 50 million. The male victim’s male victim was unharmed while their Toyota Corolla vehicle and the alleged ransom were found.

Meanwhile, the police PRO in Ogun State reported a rapid deployment of tactical teams in response to a reported kidnapping incident involving three people on July 16, 2025, around the Ajebo axis of the Owode Egba Division.

“Today, the Anti-Kidnapping team used technology to locate the kidnappers, engage them in a shootout along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, in which two suspects were neutralized in the ensuing gun battle, and successfully rescue all three kidnapped victims unhurt,” according to the team’s statement.

One AK-47 rifle, 139 rounds of ammunition, one magazine, one cutlass, a chain and padlock, as well as several mobile phones used for negotiations, are among the items that were recovered from the operation.
