British Open Leaderboard 2017: Sunday Score Updates and Tournament Predictions

Gianni VerschuerenJul 22, 2017

Jordan Spieth will start the final day of the 2017 Open with a three-shot lead, looking to add a third major to his resume. 

The 23-year-old has been on fire throughout the tournament and holds a comfortable advantage. Matt Kuchar, who has yet to score better than his compatriot in any round, trails by three shots, and the rest of the field, led by Austin Connelly, needs to overcome six or more shots to win the tournament.

Here's a look at the interactive leaderboard, which will be updated throughout the day:

A double-bogey from Kuchar on the 16th hole on Saturday gave Spieth a solid three-hole lead entering the final round, leaving the two-time major winner as the clear favourite to add the Open to his resume.

With Connelly, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson all well behind the duo, it will likely take another meltdown of epic proportions to stop Spieth from lifting the Claret Jug. Fans may think back of the 2016 Masters, but the young talent has learned from that experience and is on quite the run.

Per the PGA Tour's official Twitter account, no one has been able to stop Spieth in some time:

He's found the green in regulation with 78 percent of his efforts through three rounds, a remarkable number, and Spieth's short game has been clicking. Apart from a few blips on Friday―which he quickly recovered from―errors have been a rarity for the overnight leader.

He's also been supremely confident, as shared by Kyle Porter of CBS:

It didn't hurt that Branden Grace took the spotlight on Saturday, becoming the first man to finish a round with a score of 62 at a major. With fans glued to the screen as the South African moved to the 16th needing two more birdies, it was a lot easier for Spieth and Company to do their thing.

Grace nailed birdies on the 16th and 17th and held his nerve on the final hole, with a great approach and a simple putt to make history.

Here's a look at the putt:

The score moved Grace into a share of fifth place, seven shots behind Spieth. He's unlikely to pull another historic round out of his hat on Sunday, but a push for a podium finish is not out of the question.

Defending champion Henrik Stenson recovered from a poor outing on Friday and should be among the risers on Sunday, while Dustin Johnson impressed with a round of six-under on moving day and will also be eyeing the top three.

They'll likely all be chasing Spieth throughout the day, however, with the 2015 Masters champion expected to finish the job.

Predictions: No wobbles from Spieth, who wins by more than two strokes.
