British Open 2016: Real-Time Leaderboard Updates for Sunday Leaders
Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson will battle it out on Sunday to become the champion of the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon.
Stenson held a one-shot lead after moving day. The pair are well out in front of the field and left to fight among themselves for the Claret Jug.
Here is the live leaderboard:
As a reminder, this is how things stood at the end of play on Saturday, per ESPN.com's Jason Sobel:
Stenson is pursuing his first major title after coming close on several occasions in the past, while Mickelson is chasing his sixth overall and second at The Open.
The American started with an incredible eight-under 63 on Thursday and followed that up with two steady but unspectacular rounds to remain in contention.

Mickelson was pleased with his start to the competition, telling USA Today's Steve DiMeglio: "I'm starting to hit some shots like I did 10 years ago and starting to play some of my best golf again. So I don't see why there's any reason why I can't continue that not just this week but for years."
He wasn't quite as enthused after managing just one under on Saturday, but he was happy he remained in the contest, per DiMeglio:
"I was off today. I didn't have my best stuff. I was a little bit jumpy and my rhythm wasn't very good. I found a way to kind of settle in and hit some shots and then find ways to make pars on the times that I hit some poor shots. Today could have been a day that got away from me. Instead I shot under par and kept myself right in it heading into tomorrow's final round, so I'm proud of that.
"
The 46-year-old can make history by winning on Sunday, per Golf Channel's Justin Ray:
Given his experience, we can't rule out a sixth major win here. By contrast, Stenson finds himself in unfamiliar territory, per the European Tour:
The Swede has been at the top of his game over the first three rounds, putting well and for the most part remaining calm and collected throughout.
He performed consistently over the first three days, carding 68 either side of Friday's excellent 65. The European Tour demonstrated the level at which he's played:
Per DiMeglio, Stenson is determined to give it his best shot:
"I've put myself in a great spot. But still it's whatever you want to throw the odds, but if I give myself a 50-50 chance. It might happen, it might not happen. The sun will come up on Monday anyway, hopefully. Maybe not in Scotland, but in other parts of the world. And I will be back at the PGA Championship to try again.
I know I've got the game to win one of these championships or a few, hopefully by the end of my career, and I will just try my hardest.
"
It's all set up for a titanic showdown on Sunday—Mickelson has the experience of getting over the line, while Stenson has been the more consistent performer of the first three days.
The action could go right down to the wire, and it's not to be missed.
