British Open third round leaderboard, live updates: Billy Horschel takes solo lead after rainy Saturday at Royal Troon

Daniel Brown made a bogey on No. 1 after an errant tee shot, but has been able to battle back, with a birdie on 3 to get back to 5-under for the tournament and into sole possession of second place. He's looked totally unbothered by the moment 2+ rounds into his major championship debut.

6-under thru 12 on the day, Henley has charged up into second place, and his approach play has been excellent. Not everyone can hit an iron like this from the first cut ... the putt however? A gimmie in your regular weekend fourball

Thomas is in with 4-under, 67 for Saturday's third round. He got off to a blistering start with six birdies on his first 12 holes. After bogeys on 13 and 15, he was able to steady the ship and come in with three straight pars. He's seven shots behind leader Shane Lowry heading into the final round.

More red numbers on the boar as the rain comes down ... 2-under for the day and 3-under for the championship for Xander Schauffele.

With rain now falling as hard as it has all day, the leaders are off the first tee and at 7-under, Shane Lowry is at the top of the leaderboard, and also in a lefthand fairway bunker off the first tee. Lowry is looking to lift the Claret Jug for a second time.

Skip, skip, stop, zip. That's exactly how Russell Henley drew it up on at the Postage Stamp. He'd go on to make par and go out in 32. Henley is 2-under for the tournament and 4-under for the day at the turn. You'll also note that the rain has fully moved in and changing the conditions for the players at Royal Troon.

The two-time Masters champion is in the mix at the British Open and his round is underway. He enters the third round at 2-under, and five shots back of Shane Lowry. Scheffler, who's playing with LIV Golf's Dean Burmester today, has six wins in his 15 starts this season.

After going out in 31, Justin Thomas has come back down to earth some. 7 birdies in his first 12 holes had Thomas knocking on the door of the leaders, who are set to get their rounds started over the next half hour or so, but bogeys on 13 and 15 and an errant second shot on 16 have Thomas scrambling to stay connected to the leaders as his third round begins to draw to a close.

Lawrence has it to 7-under for the day and 4-under for the tournament, just three shots back of Shane Lowry. Rain is starting to fall and umbrellas are out among the fans at Royal Troon which could start to affect the players are the final groups begin to tee off.

The LSU Tiger birdied No. 8 to get to 4-under for the day and 1-under for the championship. The scoring conditions have been so much more favorable for the first part of the day, but rain is starting to move into the area at Royal Troon.

Robert MacIntyre plays left handed, but to avoid an nearly impossible stance out of a bunker late in his third round, he chose to flip his club around and give it a go right handed. He wound up missing wildly to the right...but making par from this position.

The two-time PGA Championship winner has got it to 2-under for the championship after another birdie on 12, and is 6-under for the day. That 2022 PGA Championship is his last win on tour, and his best finish at an Open is T11 back in 2019.

This is the 10th British Open played at Royal Troon, and until today, no player had made an ace on the par-3 17th. Well, that number has gone from zero to one with Si Woo Kim's hole-in-one in the third round. He's at 5 for the tournament and even par for the day after the shot he'll remember for a lifetime. Take a look:

Among the low scorers in the early part of the day are names we've seen on Sundays at majors before ... Adam Scott, Justin Thomas, but also some less heralded names like Thriston Lawrence. The South African 4-time winner on the DP World Tour is 6-under through his first eight holes and up 24 spots on the leaderboard into 4th place.

Adam Scott is thru 16 and up 41 spots on the leaderboard today to T13 at even par with an excellent round of 5-under going so far.

Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall. Don't fall.

Oh, good, a par

Have you ever had back-to-back rounds like this at your home course? Some days nothing works, and some days everything is cooking.

Have a day SungJae Im! A 5-under 65 has Im at 1-over for the championship and looking like he could be among the late tee times on Sunday if the conditions deteriorate on Saturday afternoon.

The morning groups in Round 3 have dealt with much less wind than on Friday and scoring conditions have been much better — Justin Thomas is 4-under thru 7 — but that may not be the case all day, with rain and some heavy wind possible to affect the groups toward the end of the day, from about 4 p.m. local time/11 p.m. ET.
