America’s Billy Horschel leads The Open Championship coming into today’s final round after carding 69 in horrible conditions on Saturday at Royal Troon.
English major debutant Dan Brown held the lead heading up the 18th but a double bogey after finding a greenside bunker saw him slip back to three under alongside Thriston Lawrence, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Justin Rose and US PGA champion Xander Schauffele.
Brown’s playing partner today is the world No 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is one further back on two under, while Shane Lowry – who led after two rounds – went in the wrong direction on moving day, carding 77 to slip down the leaderboard and finish on one under. Justin Thomas, Adam Scott and Matthew Jordan are at level par heading into Sunday’s play.

Birdie for Justin Rose!
A brilliant start for the Englishman, as that approach into the second is rewarded. Rose rolls in his birdie putt, while Scheffler now jumps up to -3 with a birdie at the third. Plenty of early birdies for those at the front.

Both Rose and Schauffele make par on the first, while Scheffler finds the green from the rough to give himself a birdie chance on two. He doesn’t take it though, and stays on -2.
On the Postage Stamp, Rahm clips his tee shot with plenty of backspin and gets within a few feet of the pin – it’s a touch high though, and he knocks in for par.
Lowry has another birdie chance and it should be par for the Irishman, but he lips out! He’ll move to even.
Adam Scott has made a charge up the leaderboard too – he’s two shots off the lead after two birdies in three.
Brown birdies the second to make up for his earlier bogey. He’s back to -3. The last pair will be teeing off any moment now.
