Bryson DeChambeau grabs his fourth birdie of the day at the 9th.
What might have been...
B. DeChambeau -6 (10*)
Bryson DeChambeau grabs his fourth birdie of the day at the 9th.
What might have been...
J. Rose -6 (3*)
Justin Rose is on the green in two at the par-5 2nd with a long eagle putt. It's a great effort, but he'll have to settle for a par.
Rory McIlroy arrives with his caddie Harry Diamond.
McIlroy tees off with Matthew Fitzpatrick at 2.20pm, with the leaders following 10 minutes later.
I've never seen anything like what we saw yesterday.
The support and adulation McIlroy has received this week from his home fans has been remarkable to witness.
Will he win The Open? It's unlikely. But there should be fireworks.
J. Rose -5, H. Hall -5 (1)
How Justin Rose would love to win an Open Championship one day.
At 44, Rosey knows that he won't get too many more opportunities.
He has an outside chance to get to 6-under on the 1st hole, but his ball just slides by the cup.
B. DeChambeau -5 (7)
DeChambeau continues his charge up the leaderboard on championship Sunday at Royal Portrush.
A third birdie of the day drops at the par-5 7th, courtesy of a six-foot putt up the hill.
What a remarkable turnaround this has been for DeChambeau, who carded a 78 on Thursday and looked as though he was going to be one of several big names who missed the cut.
S. Lowry -2 (66)
Huge ovation for the 2019 champion golfer of the year as he strides up the 18th fairway to bring his Open to a close.
Lowry has work to do to salvage a par as he's missed the green left.
Can he finish with a bit of magic?
Yes! Lowry almost holes out. Easy par.
That's a 66. The best score of the day so far...
SO close... pic.twitter.com/l388ZZyhKi

D. Johnson -4, S. Im -4 (1*)
Dustin Johnson has made his first major championship cut here at Royal Portrush and is among the contingent on 4-under.
Johnson told reporters this week that it's going to suck not being involved in the forthcoming Ryder Cup.
He also plans to play LIV Golf for a few more years yet.
His opening tee shot finds the short stuff, but his approach finds the sand.
B. DeChambeau -4 (4)
Back-to-back birdies for Bryson, who marches to the 5th tee box with the look of a man who wants to go extremely low today.
P. Mickelson +1 (67)
Phil Mickelson brings his Open to a close with a bogey-free final round of 67.
Lefty surged into the lead, albeit very briefly, on Thursday and was one of several golden oldies that rolled back the years by making the cut.
We look forward to seeing Mickelson at Royal Birkdale next July.
B. DeChambeau -3 (3)
Bryson DeChambeau, who was put on the clock yesterday, has made a fast start to his final round at The Open.
A birdie putt inside six feet drops at the par-3 3rd.
T. Fleetwood -3, J. Thomas -3 (1)
Tommy Fleetwood races a birdie putt past the cup at the 1st, but safely knocks in his par putt.
Fleetwood finished runner-up to Shane Lowry here in 2019 and would've undoubtedly backed himself to be further up the leaderboard by this point.
The wait will go on for Tommy.
Keegan Bradley -4
The US Ryder Cup captain is on the tee box ready to kick off his final round.
Bradley finds himself in the middle of a rare conundrum, as he has played his way into contention for a spot on the 12-strong team that will head to Bethpage Black in September.
There has not been a playing captain at the Ryder Cup since Arnold Palmer led the US team in 1963.
"If I was sitting here without being captain then making this team would be my number one goal," Bradley said yesterday.
"That doesn't change with me being captain."

Lowry -2 (12)
Ireland's Lowry has the low round of the day in progress at 5-under thru 12.
He went out in 32 shots and he's just tucked away another birdie on the par-5 12th.
It's not going to be a successful Portrush Open defence for Lowry but he's fighting until the end.
McNealy -4 (3)
McNealy is showing what's possible in the early wave of final round groups at The Open.
He's 3-under thru 3 after an eagle at 2 and birdie at 3.
Garcia Par (6)
Garcia is level thru six holes but a video has emerged of him snapping his driver down the 2nd.
He even went on to make a birdie on the hole, but he gave it back at the 4th.
Garcia is looking to show something today with the Ryder Cup on the horizon.
The Spaniard still believes he has a chance to earn one of Donald's six picks on the team.
🚨⛳️😤 #WATCH — LIV Golf star Sergio Garcia snapped his driver in a fit of rage after a poor tee shot on the 2nd hole.

He must play the final round without it and is not allowed to replace it.
