British Open 2017: How to View Sunday's Live Leaderboard Scores, Updates
Jordan Spieth has led The 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England wire to wire, and he'll look to secure his third major win on Sunday.
To do that he'll have to hold off veteran Matt Kuchar, who is three shots back. Eight players sit between three under and five under, including Branden Grace, who shot a major record 62 on Saturday.
However, this looks to be a two-man race between Spieth and Kuchar.

What To Watch
How Will the Weather Impact Play?
According to the Met Office weather report, the winds should pose a challenge in the late afternoon, when all the contenders should be in the middle of their rounds. In particular, they should pick up to 17 miles per hour with 26-mile-per-hour gusts at 5 p.m. BT / 12 p.m. ET.
While the conditions won't be as bad as Friday, when gusts were well over 30 miles per hour and torrential rain paused play for 14 minutes, it won't be nearly as easy to post low scores as it was on Saturday, when red numbers were the norm.
Keep an eye out for how the golfers react to the increased winds as afternoon nears evening. They could make or break some rounds.
What Can Branden Grace Do for an Encore?
The 29-year-old Grace is going to need to work some more magic in order to contend for the Claret Jug, as he is still seven shots back of Spieth for the lead. He also has to contend with three other golfers ahead of him in addition to Hideki Matsuyama, who is tied with him for fifth at four under.
Still, Grace was unbelievable on Saturday, as he made birdies in bunches. After opening Saturday with a birdie, he made four between the fourth and ninth holes to end the front nine and made another three between the 14th and 17th holes on the back nine.
Most notably, Grace hit an unbelievable 89 percent of greens in regulation on Saturday, which undoubtedly led to his success. Ultimately, every single facet of his game was on point, and that will need to be the case again Sunday.
The guess here is that Grace continues his positive momentum into Sunday shoots under par again.
Can Anyone Outside the Final Grouping Challenge Jordan Spieth and Matt Kuchar?
It will be a difficult, but not impossible, task for a golfer not named Jordan Spieth or Matt Kuchar to win.
A large comeback on a major's tournament day isn't unprecedented, with the 1996 Masters (Greg Norman led by six shots over Nick Faldo and lost) and 1999 Open Championship (Jean Van de Velde led the field by five strokes heading into Sunday before losing in a playoff) being prime examples.
Even Spieth led the 2016 Masters by five strokes in the final round before his infamous quadruple bogey at the 12th.
However, Spieth is in excellent form right now, and he's seemingly sticking every single approach at Royal Birkdale.
Spieth's approach game is no fluke, as he's first in strokes gained approaching the green, so expect that trend to continue through Sunday.
Ultimately, his iron game is better than it's ever been, even during his 2015 season when he won The Masters and U.S. Open.
But Spieth's putting has been the true X-factor, as he has made some excellent long-distance putts to vault him into first place. This putt on the 18th hole on Saturday gave him the three-shot lead heading into the final round:
Spieth is simply playing too well right now to fathom betting against. Kuchar may keep it close, but Spieth should take home his third major.
