Who is leading The Open Championship after Round 3? Day 3 leaderboard explored

American Brian Harman remains in the lead of The Open Championship after three rounds. He is five strokes ahead of his closest competitor, Cameron Young.

Harman played another good round on Saturday (July 22) at The Open Championship (-2), improving his overall score to 12-under 201 for the first 54 holes. His five-stroke lead could be decisive for the final 18 holes.

Cameron Young also played strong on Saturday at The Open Championship, improving his performance from the previous two days. That was also the case for Jon Rahm (T3), who set a record-low score for the Royal Liverpool Golf Club course with an 8-under 63.

Several players have remained in privileged positions at The Open Championship against all odds. Such is the case of Frenchman Antoine Rozner (T4) and Indian Shubhankar Sharma (T9). The local Tommy Fleetwood also remains well placed (T4) although he could only keep his score at -5.

One of the surprises of the day at The Open Championship was given by the youngest Fitzpatrick, Alex. He played a round of 6-under 65 and climbed 30 places to place T9 in his absolute debut in major tournaments.
