Xander Schauffele, who began the year as one of the best players in golf without a major, now has two of the game’s biggest prizes after winning the 152nd British Open.
The 30-year-old Californian won a shootout in May at the PGA Championship and backed it up with a gutsy effort in a trying week at Royal Troon, shooting a bogey-free 65 Sunday to win at 9-under 275 by two shots over England’s Justin Rose and Billy Horschel.
