Pairings and tee times for the final round of The 154th Open, held at Royal Birkdale in Southport, Merseyside.
Ryan Fox equalled the lowest round in men’s major history with an eight-under 62 on Saturday, seeing him jump into tied-second and set up a Sunday pairing with American Sam Burns.
Burns holds a two-shot advantage over Fox and Si Woo Kim, while nine of the current top 10 on the leaderboard are chasing a maiden major title – with Bryson DeChambeau the exception – and within five strokes of the lead.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is six strokes back as he looks to become the first back-to-back winner of The Open since Padraig Harrington defended his title here in 2008, while Rory McIlroy is eight behind after a one-under 69.
A record prize purse is available at The Open, with Sunday’s winner being crowned Champion Golfer of the Year and taking home a $3.2million (£2.38m) first prize.
