The Open 2023

Good morning and welcome to the third round coverage of The Open.

It’s a little while until the leaders, Brian Harman and Tommy Fleetwood, head out for 3:30pm.

But we’ll have plenty of updates as the leaderboard shuffles about on moving day.

Patient Tommy Fleetwood prepared to go on a Harman hunt for Open glory

Winning your first major is rarely easy and Tommy Fleetwood’s path to glory at the Open Championship this week certainly looks more complicated on Saturday morning than it did 24 hours earlier.

When he went to bed on Thursday evening, Fleetwood was co-leader of the tournament having shot a thoroughly professional five-under-par round of 66. He was top of the leaderboard alongside a South African amateur (Christo Lamprecht) and an Argentine without a top-10 finish in his major career (Emiliano Grillo), who would both inevitably fade.

Yet by the time the Englishman teed off for his second round on Friday afternoon, he was five strokes off the lead. Brian Harman – a 36-year-old from Georgia, USA – had torn up Hoylake with a brilliant 65 to climb to 10-under-par on a morning where scoring wasn’t even particularly low.
