Scottie Scheffler won the British Open overwhelmingly and took home his fourth major victory in his career. The best Swede became Jesper Svensson in 16th place. Thanks to all fans for the support, I know I wasn't the supporter favorite today, but I heard a lot of USA chants and appreciate your support, said the 29-year-old American after the victory.

World number one Scottie Scheffler won with 17 under par, four strokes ahead of second-placed Harris English and thus took home his first British Open title. Chris Gotterup took third place.

Jesper Svensson, 29, became the best Swede with a 16th place. He finished the final Sunday with 66 strokes, 5 under par. A total of 7 under par.

It has been great fun. A lot of blue and yellow and many who have cheered, it's not something I'm used to hearing, said Jesper Svensson to Radiosporten afterwards.

Åberg: ”Frustrating”

Ludvig Åberg had the chance to place himself in the top tier and was at best in 10th place, but on the 11th hole he hit a ball that was not found. He eventually made a quadruple bogey and then followed up with three straight birdies.

He finally finished in a shared 23rd place, one under par for the day and six under par in total.

It's very frustrating, I'm very disappointed. It feels like I'm throwing away a top placement, he says to Viaplay.

I felt that I could come from here with a good placement, it makes it suck a bit right now. Overall, I think a lot worked and I look forward to the final.

Disappointed Stenson

Henrik Stenson, who finished Sunday on par and overall finished one under par, became 45th and was not satisfied with his performance.

I'm extremely irritated and frustrated about how extremely damn badly I played the last two days. There are an incredible number of mistakes, he says in Viaplay's broadcast.

Sebastian Söderberg finished the day six over par and ended up in 70th place.
