Rory McIlroy in Pursuit, Scottie Scheffler in Control | Round Three Highlights | The 153rd Open

Oh, see how he kind of held that up against the winner. So pretty. Oh, a little bonus there for the 29-year-old. From there, that's only getting one place. Underground. John Parrott, 13. Par 3, win on the left. Oh, oh, oh, oh! Is that the first one of the week? Oh, good as that. First all-in-one of the week from John Parry. Calamity Corner, Bryson DeChambeau down the right-hand side. Below the surface of the green. It plays the longest it's played all week, the 16. 239 yards. And it's just going to catch that ridge. Oh, this is perfect from Ludwig. They will have a chance. You can hear them at the back of the green. Nice. Here she comes. Here she comes! And down she goes. What a perfect way for Rory McIlroy to start. Nice to see Ricky playing well again. He loves a creative golf where he's got to think about playing golf and not his swing. How's that missed? Xander Schofley on the par 5 for a 3. Yeah, get in there, cry. One birdie and one bogey before that. So 2-under for his round. Looks nice. Very nice. 4-under for his day's work so far. Down the hill. Oh, might be 5-under in a minute. What a beauty. Nice fast backswing on the putter. Trying to propel this holeward. A wave of the hand and a clench of the fist. And all of a sudden you're 6-under par. Very narrow at front. Oh, they're enjoying this. He's enjoying this. Oh no, don't go in it. Oh. It's a perfect chip. To the wind. It's on Lee. Really good. Oh my God. First time with a front left pin. Six yards off. Oh no. Steady. I thought he was going to get a bad break. Justin Rose. Oh, shanked it again. Oh my God. Well, you heard him say he shanked it again. He shanked the number 8 out of the rough a bit. Dead right. It's a good angle to come in from. On the right side. You can't afford to miss it on the right. Poor connection. There's another ball come up now. I've never seen anything like that in my life. This is how brave he's going to be. Gave this pin a huge amount of respect. Across the hill. Should get him at a pace from here now. Did you? Oh no. And there is a roar. It rolls across this course like a wave. Eagle from McElroy. 7 under. Within 5. Thomas. Just a little slopey ropey. And he's only gone to done the same thing. Half a lie here for Hadzon. Can he gouge something out here? Might try and chase this up the bank. Stay right. He's a strong lad. Oh. Beautiful break there. Gave that an almighty slash. He enjoyed that. Ah ----. Oh my goodness. Uh oh. Sit right next to the flag. It's wide as you like with the stance. Bend those knees. Stabs it up. Runs it out. Settle. Touch of class. For a closing birdie for Justin Rose. Not too far away. Oh hallelujah. Not much more than a wedge. I wouldn't say here for a second shot. Accessible flag position. That's lovely. What can Rasmus do to this back left pin location? Looks like this is on a beautiful line. Just hanging on to the edge of Bobby Lux hollow. Oh, it's got a camera down. Beautiful. Yeah, one of the best you've seen. Use those contours. It's Patrick to get to 10. There's one for him. Back within three of Scotty Scheffler. Tied for second with Haotong Li. Breathes a sigh. Oh, good, oh, good stance. Stay left. Looks like he just went the vertical route there and did very, very well. Done it again. Two on Thursday, two on Friday and now two on Saturday. One of the toughest par threes in golf. Scotty Scheffler. Four shots clear of Haotong Li. They'll play together. Matt Fitzpatrick alone in third place. Then that group on eight under par. Rory McIlroy, Tyrell Hatton, Harris English and Chris Gotterup. Still plenty to look forward to and might be a little bit of golfing history made as the man with a couple of masters. USPGA looks to add the third leg of a potential slam.
