Moving Day at the 153rd Open Championship was everything we could have hoped for, and more! Smylie Kaufman spent the day listening to roars (RORS?) echoing across Northern Ireland, as their native son Rory McIlroy mounted a charge that sees him in the penultimate group on Sunday. Smylie joins Charlie Hulme to explore any possible scenario that doesn't see Scottie Scheffler hoisting the Claret Jug, as the World No. 1 holds a four-shot lead, and has executed his gameplan to perfection at Royal Portrush. SK gives his notes on Haotong Li after watching him post a two-under 69 on Saturday to join Scottie in the final group, while exploring the possibility that two current Ryder Cup outsiders - Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Gotterup - could find their way onto their respective teams with a top-five finish.Hear Smylie's predictions on the winning score and how it all could play out on Sunday at the Open, and join us here tomorrow for a full recap of the final major of 2025!Chapters00:30 Recapping Moving Day at the Open Championship02:38 Rory McIlroy's Performance and Crowd Energy05:22 Scottie Scheffler's Dominance and Strategy08:27 Haotong Li and Matt Fitzpatrick's Challenges10:59 Ryder Cup Implications and Player Insights13:42 Weather Forecast and Scoring Predictions16:43 Final Thoughts and Predictions for Sunday
