The Open Championship 2026 Live Updates, Latest Results, Highlights and Scores for Third Round

Absolutely dialed these last two rounds. Burns has set himself apart by going low when the conditions were ideal earlier in the week and when they were less favorable on Saturday.

A stellar 5-under round has Burns in the final group tomorrow, looking for redemption after a heartbreaking runner-up finish at the U.S. Open earlier this year.

The TV broadcast is avoiding outright criticism, but in combination with complimenting Sam Burns' relatively reserved demeanor, its characterization of DeChambeau as a showman "playing it up to the crowd" conveys some pretty clear disapproval.

Bryson finishes at 6-under, four shots back of Burns.

First to double digits under par and now two shots clear of Kim, Fox and Herbert at 8-under.

Bryson knocks in a tester for birdie to move to 7-under on the day, now tied for fifth heading to 18. The short stick has been critical for him all day.

Steady all round, Kim is one shot off the lead and 3-under for the day. Potential history in the making.

Defending champ finishes the day at 4-under par, currently in a crowd of players tied for 11th. The putter is going to need to cooperate tomorrow for Scheffler to make things interesting.

Not quite as tough as DeChambeau's bunker shot earlier, but a much better result here for Jon Rahm. He's close enough to the leaders to be a factor on Sunday.

He's also missed the last three cuts in majors, so do with this information what you will.

This alongside back-to-back birdies from Ryan Gerard at 13 and 14, moving him to 7-under, is making for a crowded top of the leaderboard.

Three straight difficult par saves for DeChambeau keeps him within four of the leaders through 14 holes. He's even on the day, mainly due to timely putts and some solid scrambling. Both of those will be necessary as he continues to attack the course with length.

Up against the back edge with no stance, Bryson has to take a knee and reach down into the bunker to get a club on the ball. Pretty good result to even get the club on it. Yes, the hosel counts as the club.

Ludvig Åberg parred 18 to finish at 3-under on the day and 6-under through three rounds. Quietly one of the best rounds by anyone not named Ryan Fox today.

In spite of some pretty clear consensus that Friday's two-shot penalty was warranted, DeChambeau has met with a mostly supportive crowd today.

Look, you don't get to lead a major without a fortunate break or two. Herbert is just hanging on at 1-under for the day and 9-under for the tournament.

A little historical context for the rash of 62s we've seen so far. There may not be any more of those today, but plenty of players are on track for the mid-60s in the third round.

With only a few exceptions, the high, dry rough isn't bothering the players at all today. DeChambeau and Burns both drove it left on 11 and found the green on their second shots. Dry and windy conditions are producing workable lies, even way off the fairway.

No bogeys for Young so far today.

Scheffler is 1-under through 13 today and tied for eighth overall. Sunday gets a lot more interesting if he closes with a flourish today.

Sam Burns finishes the front nine 3-under par on the day while Si Woo Kim dunks a birdie on No. 10 to make it a three-way tie atop the leaderboard at 8-under par.

McIlroy does not mince words.

The approaches have been nails, but you can't convince me having the biggest pants in the field isn't also giving Fleetwood an edge. Easier to read the winds by the direction those things are billowing.

Just the 25th birdie at No. 6 this week. As has been the case for a about a century, the par-4 sixth is playing as the toughest hole on the course with a scoring average of 4.35. Huge birdie from Bryson that produced one of the biggest crowd pops of the day.

The way things are going, Fox won't be the leader for much longer. His 62 still gives him great momentum heading to Sunday.

A preposterously tough up-and-down birdie by Young at the fifth to get to 7-under. He had a four-foot landing space with runout long and the trap short. Perfect touch.

The two-shot penalty assessed last night meant DeChambeau started at 5-under rather than 7-under. An early bogey has him at +1 for the day and stuck in a crowd tied for 10th at 4-under par

Rory McIlroy followed Friday's 67 with a third-round 69 and sits at two under, six back of the current lead. He'll have some work to do on Sunday.

Ryan Fox is already finished with a 62. Suber is within one of him and co-leader Lucas Herbert, who's even through two.

A pair of birdies on the front so far. Leaders at -8 should not be comfortable.

Fleetwood has the crowd behind him, but Burns trying to follow his runner-up finish at the U.S. Open with a win here would make him a big story down the stretch.

Based on the low numbers yesterday and throughout the tournament, Fleetwood won't be the only guy piling up birdies as he chases the leaders.
