British Open Live Streaming 2012: Definitive Guide to Online Viewing for Day 3

If you have missed the first two rounds of the 2012 British Open, then you are missing out.

We've already seen Phil Mickelson and 2011 British Open champion Darren Clarke bow out, while Tiger Woods has continued to play well overall in 2012.

Did I mention a guy by the name of Brandt Snedeker is the leader by four shots with a 10-under-par 130?

As we head into the final two rounds, there are sure to be plenty of historic moments, as well as stars who fall hard.

Here's a look at some top golfers to watch at the 2012 British Open. Coverage starts at 5 a.m. ET on ESPN3.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods could have closed the second round on Friday in disappointing fashion. 

Instead, Woods nailed a spectacular bunker shot on the 18th hole and finished with a six-under-par 134 through two rounds.

Woods not only has three PGA Tour victories on the year, he's brought his game to the British Open and played smart, sound golf. He's hit 26 of 28 fairways so far and 29 of 36 greens. If he can start sinking more putts, there is no reason to doubt the 14-time major champion's chances. 

Adam Scott

Adam Scott had a lot going for him before the British Open this year.

He ranks eighth on tour in scoring average, eighth in holes per eagle and 26th in greens in regulation, per PGATour.com. That's not to mention he finished eighth at the Masters this year and 15th at the U.S. Open.

Even a relative weakness of Scott's, driving accuracy, has yet to show. He's hit 21 of 28 fairways at the 2012 British Open.

Graeme McDowell

Last but not least, we have Graeme McDowell.

McDowell not only ranks second on tour in driving accuracy this year, he ranks 11th in putting per hole. He's played better overall since missing the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in early June, placing second at the U.S. Open, 16th at the Irish Open and 17th at the Alstom Open de France.

McDowell has hit 20 of 28 fairways and is averaging 1.5 putts per hole at the 2012 British Open. He's also six shots back, in position to make a move in the final two rounds.
