Here are the fourth round updates of the 2025 British Open from Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Here are the live updates:

10:22 AM ET–Scheffler now leads by seven shots as Li bogeys the fourth…Li is tied with Americans Harris English and 2025 Scottish Open champion Chris Gotterup at -9…Scheffler was the clear betting favourite heading into the week, and is now putting in a Tiger Woods-like performance like we saw from Woods in his prime at Pebble Beach, Augusta and St. Andrews…interesting, in one pool I am in, you could not choose Scheffler because he was going to be the dominant selection…well, he has proved those people correct as he is three hours away from winning his fourth major title of his career, following the 2022 and 2024 Masters and 2025 PGA Championship….
10:32 AM ET–Two more golfers are in a tie for second place…they are Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick…they are both at -9…
10:34 AM ET–Bryson DeChambeau is now in second place too at -9…DeChambeau had a horrendous score of seven-over-par 78 to begin the British Open, but has bounced back with scores of six-under-par 65, three-under-par 68, and seven-under-par 64….now I guess it is back to the LIV Tour for the two-time United States champion…
10:37 AM ET–Scheffler birdies the sixth hole and is now at -17…
10:38 AM ET–Li has birdie on the fifth hole and is now at -10…interesting graphic posted by NBC Sports…Scheffler’s lead on Li is seven shots…Woods has the largest margin of victory in the last 100 years at the British Open…he shot a four round score of -19 at St. Andrews and beat Ernie Els of South Africa and Thomas Bjorn of Denmark by eight strokes…
