The Open leaderboard 2025 live: scores, updates from round 4 at Portrush
The American, a signed-up member of the 'stop slow play' club and keen to time his fellow players with a stopwatch, is out on course following three rounds of 78, 65 and 68 respectively. An opening birdie is not out of the question here after he makes up for an errant tee shot into the rough by plopping his second on the green. The 2019 champion's (-1) run of birdies comes to an end on 10 with a par, though he wasn't far off with his first putt. He's four under for this round. Elsewhere, the wonderfully named Maverick McNealy is three under thru 3 and four under for the week — he's top of the players currently out there, tied for 22nd. Rickie Fowler picks up a birdie at the 2nd to move to three under. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content.

He finds the green with his second shot on the 9th, around 20 feet away, and it's yet another birdie. That's three in a row and he's on one under. Right then, any early movers and shakers? Despite his illness, Shane Lowry has rediscovered some of that 2019-winning form to record his fourth birdie of the front nine. Phil Mickelson is two under for his round thru 10 while fellow Open winners Henrik Stenson, Jordan Spieth, and Franceso Molinari — who took the Claret Jug between 2016 and 2018 respectively — are all out on course. It's an unforgiving game, golf. You only have to go back three years to find someone overturning a four-shot Open deficit in the final round (Rick Broadbent writes at Portrush). Cam Smith won that year after reining in Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland. He was actually six strokes better than McIlroy and ten better than Hovland. Scottie Scheffler is a different proposition, though. He has had one bogey in his last 43 holes, has closed out his last nine 54-hole leads, has been showing exquisite distance control this week and his nearest challenger, Haotong Li, has just made an Open cut for the first time since 2018. 'Kind of like, play for second,' Li said of his plans. This is golf, though. If someone is four under thru six then it could at least get interesting. Smith, by the way, has missed the cut at all four majors in 2025. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. The fact that Sergio Garcia is playing at this early hour already indicates that it's not been his tournament, and now he's just broken his driver in anger after hooking left on the 2nd tee. Because he broke the club on purpose, he now can't replace it this round. It's very early doors on the final day at Portrush but that doesn't mean there aren't big names to watch out for — most pertinently the 2019 champion Shane Lowry, who has begun his round already. It's been a disappointing week, capped by a two-shot penalty on Friday for moving a ball with his practice swing. He has also struggled with illness, saying 'every bathroom I went in and tried to throw up, [but] I couldn't'. 'The annoying thing for me today is I didn't get to enjoy today as much as I would have liked,' Lowry added yesterday. 'Saturday at the Open in your home country, I should enjoy it a lot more than I did, just because of how I felt.' He's one under thru 6 so far today and two over for the week. • Michael Foley: Why Shane Lowry is running on empty at Portrush Hello and welcome to The Sunday Times' live coverage of the final round of the 153rd Open Championship from Royal Portrush. Scottie Scheffler holds a four-shot lead going into the fourth day, after another excellent performance yesterday when he carded a four-under 67. Rory McIlroy, Haotong Li, Tyrrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick are all in pursuit, and conditions look set to be fair. Be sure to follow along for updates, analysis and news from the Co Antrim coast as the final major of the year reaches its climax.

The Hamptons Go Green
It's easy being green in the breakfast room of Alfredo Parades' Shelter Island cottage thanks to bottle green wide stripe fabric by Bennison and green glazed vintage 1930s and 1940s pottery. Photo Credit: Björn Wallander Like the siren song of ocean waves breaking against pristine sandy beaches that draws overworked New Yorkers onto the gridlocked Long Island Expressway on Summer Fridays, nautical blue is the color long associated with the Hamptons. Now, a trio of new coffee table books offering a peek inside the houses and gardens of the three of the East End's most sought-after interior designers makes the case for optimizing your weekend recovery time by infusing your second home with shades of green. The Victorian cottage's distinctive green-and-white striped porch awnings inspire lush accents indoors. Photo Credit: Björn Wallander. 'I find greens very soothing and relaxing,' says Alfredo Paredes in Alfredo Paredes at Home (Rizzoli), which was co-written with his husband, Brad Goldfarb, and features an introduction by his mentor and former boss, the Hamptons éminence grise Ralph Lauren. Paredes, who made his name as Ralph Lauren Home's longtime chief creative officer, reveals the Victorian cottage on Shelter Island he shares with Goldfarb and their two children that's every bit as chic and homey as Polo Bar. He says his secret to keeping the patina and authenticity of a historical property while also making it feel fresh and up-to-date is 'letting a house 'talk' to you so you can understand what it really does or does not need.' Botanically-inspired artwork takes root in the master bedroom of Alfredo Parades' vacation home. Photo Credit: Björn Wallander In the case of this quaint 19th-century home, which sits high on a bluff overlooking Dering Harbor, that meant keeping its distinctive green-and-white striped porch awnings that had been a feature of the facade for decades and are visible from the windows of the family and living rooms. Paredes let Pantone guide the decor, so green glazed vintage 1930s and 1940s pottery graces the breakfast room coffee table, bottle green wide stripe fabric by Bennison covers armchairs and accent pillows, and botanically-inspired artwork and prints add a verdant finish to the master bedroom and other spaces throughout the home. Marshall Watson's East Hampton garden features curated 'rooms' including a dining area flanked by London plane trees and a classical belvedere nestled amongst Japanese cut-leaf maples, variegated dogwoods, and mounds of roses. Photo Credit: Blue Carreon In Marshall Watson: Defining Elegance (Rizzoli), a self-confessed green thumb explains that since he spends so much time outdoors in the summer, he's curated individual 'rooms' within his East Hampton garden. The 'foyer' where Watson and his husband, Paul Sparks, greet dinner guests highlights Roald Dahl, Autumn Sunset, and Eden Climber roses, while their al fresco 'dining room' features a round stone dining table flanked by London plane trees and dramatic views of Gardiners Bay. 'Color and texture, too, remain of the utmost significance: while indoors the walls serve as a backdrop for the contents of a room, I use the rich green tapestry of my hedges as a foil for the bright yellows and pinks of the plants as they unfold,' Watson writes. David Kleinberg's East Hampton Eden is defined by soothing geometric beds of ornamental grasses. Photo Credit: Tria Giovan David Kleinberg, meanwhile, has transformed his own East Hamptons hideaway into a veritable Eden. In David Kleinberg: Interiors (Monacelli) he offers a look at the four-acre property replete with a field of waist-high Queen Anne's lace and a 19th-century French settee perfectly situated for quiet repose in between geometric beds of ornamental grasses. When Kleinberg first moved in, Martha Stewart told him that meadows are the hardest thing to maintain and he didn't believe her, but now he's glad he didn't listen. 'My garden gives me enormous pleasure,' he writes. 'While I don't love the pain and suffering it takes to get from New York City to the Hamptons, I'm always very happy when I'm here.'
