Scottie Scheffler of the United States walks down the fairway on the third hole during his third round of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Troon golf club in Troon, Scotland, Saturday, July 20, 2024.brought a final two hours of the worst weather to the world’s best players, and Billy Horschel was up for the fight.
“I kind of felt like it was going to be the type of day where you could go out and post a score, and it turned into an absolute survival test out there,” Rose said.Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was two behind, one of only two players yet to post a round over par this week.“That’s the hardest nine holes I think you could ever play in golf right now,” said Dustin Johnson, a former world No. 1 with two majors. He shot 72 and was five behind.
“There’s no doubt I’m going to go out there tomorrow thinking I can win the tournament,” Lowry said. “But it’s just hard right now. Ten minutes ago I had to putt for par on the 18th green, and I’m here talking to you guys now trying to figure out how I shot 77 in my own head.”Lawrence teed off more than three hours before the final group, had six birdies in eight holes and posted a 65. He went from 10 shots behind to playing in the final group Sunday with Horschel, one shot behind.
Brown had the lead after a birdie on the par-5 16th, only to finish bogey-double bogey. His tee shot on the 18th came to rest on the edge of a deep pot bunker, leaving him no place to stand but some 4 feet down in the sand. He hit into another bunker with his third shot and made double bogey for a 73. He still was only one back.
