British Open Live: Complete Online Info for Day 3

The Open Championship is halfway through and there’s a new leader at 10-under: Brandt Snedeker. The 2007 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year shot six-under 64, a stroke better than Australian Adam Scott.

Snedeker tied Nick Faldo's 20-year-old record for a 36-hole Open score of 130.

“I played honestly pretty well the first two days.  No bogeys around here is getting some good breaks and playing some pretty good golf. My mantra all week has been to get the ball on the greens as fast as possible,” he said at the press conference.

The third round promises to be full of surprises and good golf and so you can’t miss it. There’s no excuse. Here’s all the information for online viewing.

Where’s Tiger?

Woods sits third, four strokes off of the lead. Tiger had three consecutive pars before birdieing holes four and six. After closing with 32 on the front nine, Eldrick bogeyed 11, but bounced back with a couple of birdies at 16 and 18. It was precisely on the last hole that he got the best shot of the day. Tiger sunk his chip from the bunker to close the second round in style.

What about the other top players?

Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell is tied for fifth after shooting 69. He is four under for the tournament.

Luke Donald posted a two-under par round and shares the 11th position along with three other players, including Steve Stricker.

Tied at 68th, and at the bottom of the leaderboard, with three-over par you’ll find Lee Westwood, Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley and Tom Watson.
