TROON, Scotland — Billy Horschel led the British Open by one shot going into Sunday's final round at Royal Troon but it was Xander Schauffele who captured the claret jug. The 37-year-old Horschel's wait for a major championship goes on. He says "I'm disappointed. I had a chance to win a major." A fourth-place finish gets Thriston Lawrence qualified into the Masters next year for the first time. Scotland's Calum Scott who has another year left at Texas Tech won the silver medal as the lowest-scoring amateur.
