## Resource

The Open Championship heads to Royal Birkdale, a links gem last seen in 2017, where Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy lead the charge. Scheffler, reigning champ and top favorite, brings a major pedigree despite limited links experience. McIlroy, fresh off a strong finish and chasing historic back-to-back majors, dominates off the tee and has the game built for this test. English hopes Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood, playing in front of home crowds, are hot contenders. Jon Rahm aims to join Spain’s major legacy, while Xander Schauffele remains a consistent threat. And Tom Kim, winner of last week’s event, is firing on all cylinders. This promises to be a thrilling clash of stars and rising talent on one of golf’s toughest courses. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
