Overview

  • Burns moved to 10 under par after a five-under third round on Saturday to lead The Open at Royal Birkdale by two strokes.
  • Ryan Fox and Si Woo Kim sit two shots back at eight under, with Fox among players who posted a 62, a score that equals the lowest single round in major history.
  • Jon Rahm finished at four under after a dramatic kneeling bunker recovery on the 18th but remains six shots behind Burns and has a reduced chance to win.
  • A two-stroke penalty given to Bryson DeChambeau in round two for stepping on vegetation continues to provoke debate and has affected how players and fans have reacted to the tournament.
  • Pre-tournament favorites Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy fell off the pace on Saturday, leaving Burns and a small group of low scorers to decide the title in golf’s final major of the season.
