Dominant world number one Scottie Scheffler takes a four-shot lead into the final round of the British Open on Sunday, leaving local hero Rory McIlroy praying for a miracle.

McIlroy dubbed his American rival's brilliance over the first three days at Royal Portrush as "inevitable" as he maintains a stunning run of form that has already seen Scheffler claim the PGA Championship this year.
