Follow all the action on day three of the Major championship
Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard came mightily close to being paired for today’s third round, which might have made it tricky for our TV commentators seeing as they are identical twins - and have been known to wear identical gear. Johnny Watterson heard from the Danes after rounds that left them both in contention for that Claret Jug.
And there’s rarely been a dull moment in Bryson DeChambeau’s round so far - he dropped a shot at the first after his tee shot went out of bounds, then birdied four of the next six holes, but a bogey at the 13th has seen him drop to -1.Afternoon all, welcome to day three of the Open at Portrush where Scottie Scheffler didn’t just cope with miserable conditions yesterday, he thrived in them.
As Johnny Watterson puts it, Rory McIlroy “put his adoring gallery through the wringer again” on Friday before steadying the ship to finish on -3, but Shane Lowry had a nightmarish conclusion to his day when he incurred a two stroke penalty for causing his ball to move during a practice swing on the 12th hole. That turned his round of 70 in to a 72, leaving him on level par - and he’s down to +1 after a bogey at the second today.
