Will the winning score at The Open Championship 2026 be under 270 strokes?

Why: Multiple post-tournament reports dated 19 July 2026 show Ryan Fox won The Open Championship and give his round-by-round scores as 72, 68, 62 and 68. Those four rounds sum to a total of 270 strokes. The question asks whether the champion’s official total was less than 270 (i.e., 269 or fewer); the reported total is 270, so the threshold was not met.
