PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — The Claret Jug is probably too far out of reach. Xander Schauffele made a run Saturday at getting back into contention and defending the title he won a year ago at Royal Troon.
He simply had too much ground to make up, and even with a solid round at Royal Portrush, the two-time major winner is going to need a lot to go right on Sunday in order to have a chance again at the British Open.
