Summary
Sam Burns is in prime position to win his first major, leading the British Open by two shots after a stunning 65, bringing him to ten-under — especially meaningful with his newborn son just weeks old. Ryan Fox and Si Woo Kim, tied for second, are firing on all cylinders with Fox tying a record with a 62 and Kim again shooting in the 60s, setting up a thrilling final round showdown. Meanwhile, Scheffler and Rahm stumbled, with Scheffler’s putter freezing and Rahm starting with a double bogey. Young and Hatton also faltered. Rory McIlroy weighed in on DeChambeau’s controversial penalty, calling it justified and calling out his “performative” behavior — DeChambeau himself joked about it on the 18th. The broadcast missed key moments, like DeChambeau’s long birdie putt during a commercial break — but Burns is now the man to beat on Sunday.
