It was the eighth Open Championship to be played at Carnoustie. Playing conditions were unusual as a result of the heatwave in Scotland which had produced brown, dry and sun - baked fairways and brown rough. The fairways played quickly, enabling several players to hit drives that covered over 400 yards. Francesco Molinari posted a bogey - free final round of 69 to win his first major championship. Molinari finished two shots ahead of Kevin Kisner, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele. He became the first Italian player to win a major.

Molinari was three shots behind at the start of the round and began with 13 straight pars before a birdie at the par - 5 14th. He hit his approach close to the pin at the 18th and converted another birdie to post 8 - under. Molinari did n't make a bogey in his last 37 holes. Tiger Woods, paired with Molinari, made two birdies on the front - nine to take solo possession of the lead. At the 11th, however, he hit his tee shot in the rough and his approach over the green.

He made another bogey at the 12th, and despite getting a birdie at the par - 5 14th after chipping from close to the 4th pin on the double green he finished three shots behind after an even - par 71. Xander Schauffele was in a three - way tie for the lead at the start of the round but found trouble at the 5th when his approach shot buried in a greenside bunker. That led to a bogey, and he made another bogey at the 6th after hitting into a bunker once again. At the 7th Schauffele hit his tee shot into the rough and failed to get out on his second shot. His third went over the green and he made double bogey. He rebounded with a birdie at the 10th to get back into the lead, and another at the 14th. One shot back of Molinari playing the 17th, Schauffele 's approach went well right of the green and he made bogey to finish two behind. Kevin Kisner was also tied for the lead, but began his round with a double bogey at the 2nd after having to play sideways out of a fairway bunker. He made three more bogeys on the front - nine for a four - over 40. He began the second nine with a birdie at 10, joining a six - way tie for the lead at six - under. A dropped shot at the 12th, however, saw Kisner fall out of the lead and he also finished two behind Molinari. Defending champion Jordan Spieth, tied with Kisner and Schauffele at the start of the round, failed to make a birdie on his way to a five - over 76. He made a bogey at the 5th after hitting into a fairway bunker, then had a double bogey at the 6th after taking an unplayable lie from a bush. He made two more bogeys on the back - nine to finish four shots back. Rory McIlroy was two - over par after his first eight holes, before birdies at the 9th and 11th. At the 14th he holed a long putt for eagle to tie for the lead at 6 - under. But he failed to make another birdie the rest of the round and settled into the four - way tie for second. Justin Rose, who needed a 13 - foot birdie at the 18th Friday just to make the cut, eagled the 14th after his approach hit the flag, then birdied the 18th after a close approach to also finish runner - up.
