Defending Open champion Scottie Scheffler will be able to get an early first look at the Royal Birkdale set-up for next week’s major after his run of 78 consecutive made cuts came to an end at the Scottish Open.

With one under par predicted to be the minimum requirement to make the weekend – although it was fluctuating to two under – the American effectively had to hole his chip from off the front of the par-three ninth green, his final hole, to extend his stay at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick.
