Ireland's Shane Lowry plays from the 11th fairway during day three of The Open at Royal Troon. Photograph: Jane Barlow/PA WireBrown hits another cracker at the 16th, to close and a great birdie chance to take the lead on his own! He has surprised everyone this week.Horschel is plugged in the bunker at 16 and hits a sensational shot and nearly holes it for par! Rose just misses his birdie chance at 16, great effort.
Rose pulls into the crowd on the left at the 15th. Horschel back with the rain gear off and backwards cap and hits it just short of the green.Horschel has a seemingly tough bunker shot which he makes look easy at the 14th. Looking strong and has that to stay in a tie for the lead which he makes.Oh wow, Scheffler misses a tiny putt on the 16th to drop another shot and is only -1 now. Tough day. Another major champion Koepka shot 78 today.
Horschel is in the rough at the 11th but safely away from the railway and whins. It’s straight back into the wind, 504 yards, a railway to the right. Horschel’s drive hardly had 250 carry.Lowry finally misses a fairway, an looks concerned. There’s a gorse bush there but hopefully over it. Next up is the famous Postage Stamp, the 8th par 3. Brown hits into the bunker to give the advantage to Lowry. He grits his teeth he doesn’t like it and he is right beside Brown in the bunker. Oof, tough shots coming up.
Wow, Brown lands on the eighth green, goes way right on the seventh tee, Burmester and Scheffler quite perplexed. Scheffler lips out his putt.
