British Open third-round leaderboard, live updates: Justin Thomas blisters to start moving day Saturday

We’ve reached the midway point of the British Open and Shane Lowry is in full control of the leaderboard.

Lowry dropped to 7-under after his second-round 69 on Friday, giving him a two-shot lead over the field heading into the moving day at Royal Troon, Scotland. He had a leg up in the second round as the strong winds absolutely smashed the afternoon wave and sent many of the big names home early.

Leading after the first round, Daniel Brown shot a 1-over 72 on Friday. He’ll start the week at 5-under Saturday with Justin Rose, who matched the day’s low round of 3-under 68 on Friday. First trio from England and Ireland to lead the British Open at the midway point since 1951.

Top-ranked Scotty Scheffler will start the day at 2-under five shots behind Lowry. Scheffler, who has already won six times on the PGA Tour this season, is coming off a playoff win at the Travelers Championship.

  • Tristan Lawrence’s star turn continues at Invert 9

    Lawrence was 7 under and 4 under for the tournament, three shots behind Shane Lowry. It starts to rain and the umbrellas come out among the fans at the Royal Troon, which starts to affect the players and the final teams start to leave.

  • Sam Burns is in red numbers for the match

    LSU Tiger finished 8th, -4 for the day and 1-under for the championship. Scoring conditions were very favorable for the first part of the day, but rain began to fall in the Royal Troon area.

  • Sometimes you just have to flip the club and do something

    Robert MacIntyre plays left-handed, but to avoid the impossible situation of getting out of a bunker late in his third round, he chose to flip his club and go right-handed. He misses heavily on the right… but equalizes from this position.

  • Another birdie for JD

    The two-time PGA Championship winner is -2 for the championship after another birdie at 12 and is 6-under for the day. That was his last win on the 2022 PGA Championship Tour, and his best finish yet again at the T11 Open in 2019.

  • Chi Woo Kim no. Makes a hole-in-one on 17

    This is the 10th Open Championship played at Royal Troon, and no player has aceed the par-3 17th to date. Well, that number went from zero to one with Si Woo Kim’s hole-in-one in the third round. He’s at +5 for the match, a shot he’ll remember for life the day after. Check out:

    The morning groups in Round 3 dealt with much less wind than Friday and the scoring conditions were much better – Justin Thomas 4-under 7 – but that wouldn’t be the case all day. Groups may be affected by the end of the day with rain and some strong winds4pm local time/11pm ET.

  • Tiger Woods will miss the weekend

    Tiger Woods missed the cut in Scotland this week and calls for him to be hanged for good are growing fast.
