The 30-year-old Californian delivered a faultless final round of 65 on Scotland's west coast to emerge from a congested leaderboard and grab the Claret Jug.

Schauffele, winner of the PGA Championship in May, finished on nine-under par, two shots ahead of England's Justin Rose and America's Billy Horschel.

He had started the last round tied for second with five other players, a shot behind overnight leader Horschel.

But it was Schauffele who grabbed all the opportunities that came his way, picking up six birdies to go with 12 pars.
