Hometown favorite Rory McIlroy made a significant jump up the leaderboard, beginning his third round at 3-under par. He ended the day at 8-under par, tying for fifth place. The 2025 Open Championship is heading the final round.

Scottie Scheffler holds the 54-hole lead/co-lead for the 18th time on the PGA TOUR and is 11-for-17 to date converting to victory, including his last seven attempts.

The last nine times American Scottie Scheffler has led after 54 holes on the PGA Tour, he has closed out the victory and there is no reason to suggest he will not make that a perfect 10 at the Britis...

Up ahead, McIlroy was putting on a show of rich drama that lurched from sublime to ridiculous and back again.

Five players are tied for the lead at Royal Portrush, the most after Round 1 of an Open since a record six all the way back in 1938.

Major championship season concludes Sunday morning with 18 holes standing between a loaded field at Royal Portrush and the crowning of Champion Golfer of the Year at the 2025 Open Championship.

Scheffler put distance between himself and the field with a Saturday 67 to reach 14 under, four clear of Haotong Li (-10) in second.
