Here are the top numbers and notes to know from the final round of the 152nd Open Championship.
For the second time this season, Schauffele shot a final round 65 to win a major.
Schauffele is the first player to win the PGA and Open in the same season since Rory McIlroy did it 10 years ago.
With the 2024 major schedule completed, this is the first time American players have swept a major season (in a year when all four were contested) since 1982.
Of the last six players to win multiple majors in the same season, four won another major within the next two years.
