British Open Leaderboard 2015: Saturday Score Updates and Tournament Predictions

With several playing groups still having to finish the second round—including the threesome of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama—Saturday figures to be an impactful day at the British Open.

While Johnson has the lead with a score of 10 under par, he will have to finish the last five holes of his second round starting at 2 a.m. ET before starting his third round later in the day.

That will be a taxing day for Johnson, Spieth and Matsuyama, who figure to stay in contention during Saturday's moving day round.

After firing a 69 in the second round, Danny Willett moved to nine-under for the tournament and was just a stroke behind Johnson. The Englishman could have an advantage because he finished Friday's round early and will be able to prepare normally for the third round.

Those who didn't finish the second round will face a split session, having to come out early in the morning and then returning later in the day to play 18 more holes.

The second round was delayed for more than three hours by rain, and more rain is likely on Saturday.

Jason Day and Paul Lawrie were two strokes back of Johnson at eight under par. Like Johnson, both Day and Lawrie will have to finish their second round before starting their third round.

Zach Johnson, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Robert Streb and Marc Warren were three strokes behind at seven under par. Oosthuizen still had to finish his round, but the other three had finished earlier.

Predictions for Saturday:

Dustin Johnson: He is just playing so well right now there is no reason to think split sessions, rain and high winds will keep him from marching towards the title. Look for Johnson to add another birdie as he finishes the second round, and there's no reason he shouldn't be able to shoot a three under par 69 when he comes back for the third round.

Danny Willett: He has played two excellent rounds, and even though he once defeated Rory McIlroy when they were both amateurs, he will be feeling the pressure on moving day. Great players respond to pressure, but Willett has not proved anything to this point other than that he started with two good rounds. He will have to wait all day to get going, and the pressure will mount. Willett will not be able to break par on Saturday.

Jason Day: After struggling with health issues at the U.S. Open, the gutsy Day appears to be fully recovered and he has been playing well. Look for Day to battle through the elements and finish the second round with a couple of birdies and then break par in the third round. That will leave him in excellent shape for Sunday's final round.

Paul Lawrie: He was two-under for the second round when play was halted, and with six holes to go, he has a chance to get even closer to the lead. Lawrie won the 1999 British Open and he would like nothing more than to turn back the clock here. However, that may be asking too much of him; we don't expect Lawrie to break par on Saturday.

Louis Oosthuizen: The key for Oosthuizen is making sure he continues to play steady golf in the early session. If he can remain seven-under or better through the end of the second round, he should be in good shape for moving day.  Oosthuizen won the British Open at St. Andrews in 2010, and he will push forward with a round of 69 or better.

Adam Scott: If there's any golfer who can give Johnson a run for his money when it comes to distance and the beauty of his swing, it's Scott. Look for Scott to finish his second round with at least one more birdie; we expect him to shoot 68 on moving day.

Jordan Spieth: Spieth was just even par for the day and five strokes behind Johnson when play was halted. It looks like he is on the outskirts of contending, but don't count him out. If he can make a closing birdie over his last five holes of the second round, that should give him the mindset to go out and attack in the third round. Spieth will shoot a 68 on moving day.

It’s way too early to count Jordan Spieth out, but statistics aren’t on his side: http://t.co/zWrPINbXko pic.twitter.com/QjFanSOUGW
