American Billy Horschel leads the way after three days of action at Royal Troon Golf Club, holding a one-shot advantage ahead of the all-important final day of The Open.
The tricky conditions continued on Saturday with fierce winds and persistent rain, making life difficult for the world’s top players. Horschel shot a 69, leaving him on -4 with one round remaining.

Behind him are six players level on -3: Thriston Lawrence, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Xander Schauffele, Justin Rose and Dan Brown. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is one shot further back on -2 and remains within striking distance of top spot.
The story of the tournament so far has been the incredible form of Brown, the 29-year-old Englishman making his major championship debut. He led after the first round at Royal Troon and, although he’s dropped back slightly, is still targeting a historic triumph.
