Third Round Highlights

Highlights from the third round as the best golfers in the world compete for the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Previous winners at the famous Southport links include Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Padraig Harrington and Jordan Spieth, who secured a dramatic victory when the Claret Jug was last won here back in 2017.

World number one Scottie Scheffler started the week as defending champion following his emphatic triumph at Royal Portrush in 2025, with world number two Rory McIlroy hoping to bookend his major season with a Claret Jug to add to the Green Jacket he won at the Masters in April.
