The Open 2026 leaderboard: Latest golf scores from Royal Birkdale and weather, tee times for final men's major of the year

Final leaderboard from The 154th Open, the final men's major of the year, held at Royal Birkdale in Southport, Merseyside.

New Zealander Ryan Fox kept his head while all around him were losing theirs to make his major breakthrough at the age of 39 with a brilliant birdie at the last for a one-shot victory at the Open.

He was one of only three players in the final 12 groups to shoot under par on a chaotic final day when Royal Birkdale finally showed its teeth after two days of back-to-back record-equalling rounds of 62.

After Cameron Young posted the nine-under target after a best-of-the-day 64 a couple of hours earlier, double figures was the aim for those out on the course.

Fox headed down the last - Birkdale's most difficult hole - needing a birdie to overtake the American, for so long the PGA Tour's perennial runner-up, and hit his approach inside 12 feet.

Playing partner and overnight leader Sam Burns got to 11 under after three holes but dropped three strokes and Si Woo Kim gave back four from 10 under, while defending champion Scottie Scheffler and home favourite Tommy Fleetwood both threatened before coming up three short.

There were 156 players in the field for this week's major, the last of four in as many months in men's golf. The Open follows The Masters (April 9-12), the PGA Championship (May 14-17) and the US Open (June 18-21).
