As much as I hope Rory wins #TheOpen it would be great also to see #sergiogarcia win a major!

Adam Scott finishes with 3 birdies in the last 4 holes. Ends up on -6. 7 off the lead held by McIlroy #TheOpen

A bogey - his second in three holes - from Fowler on the 16th and he drops to 10 under. Moments later Sergio Garcia sinks his birdie putt to go 10 under as well. Which all leaves McIlroy three shots clear.

Karlsson, Furyk, And Warren come down the 18th to warm applause! #theopen #theopenchampionship #theopen2014 #openchampionship #majorgolf #major #majorchampionship #leaderboard #markwarren #robertkarlsson #jimfuryk #furyk #jim #karlsson #hoylake #royalliverpool #royalliverpoolgolfclub

A body blow from McIlroy to the chasing pack, sinking a 20-foot eagle putt on the 16th and after being nip and tuck with Rickie Fowler for most of the day, he's suddenly five shots clear of the bunch.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:13:38 PM
Most of the field home and hosed now and two holes to play for Messrs McIlroy and Fowler. They could yet prove pivotal...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:18:25 PM
Not a bad view of McIlroy's Eagle on the 16th #TheOpen http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bs6b49YIQAA18On.jpg

A real bonus for McIlroy as Fowler and Garcia both drop a shot on the 17th and his lead extends to six shots.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:24:56 PM
By the time I made and finished a cup of coffee, Rory's lead went from 0 to 6. Gonna make another one and see what happens. #TheOpen

I don't know about Fowler, but if he plays like this consistently he can be Phil to Rory's Tiger #TheOpen #McIlroy #Fowler

by jjculbertson via twitter 7/19/2014 2:26:38 PM
McIlroy goes through 17th green. Bit of work to do for a par #TheOpen

At the #BritishOpen #Golf #TheOpen

McIlroy fluffs his chip from the rough on the 17th and it looks like he's going to drop at least one shot here...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:30:17 PM
Yes, a dropped shot from the leader and he's back to 14 under.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:30:57 PM
Come on Rory #TheOpen

by James Robertshaw via Instagram 7/19/2014 2:31:51 PM
Garcia and Fowler both make a hash of their approaches to the green on 18 and look unlikely now to help themselves to much-needed birdies...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:34:23 PM
Another colossal drive by Rory ,that went 340yds #TheOpen

by I am that 'D' via twitter 7/19/2014 2:37:22 PM
Wow Rory might want to just start the final round right now. He is dialed in!!! #TheOpen

by sportsbrain via twitter 7/19/2014 2:37:34 PM
Magnificent chip out of the bunker by Fowler on the 18th and he's got a tiddler for birdie...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:39:26 PM
... which he sinks for a round of 68 and he goes into the fourth round at 10 under and the nearest challenger to Rory McIlroy.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:40:22 PM
Looks like @RickieFowlerPGA and @McIlroyRory will play together on Sunday at #TheOpen. That'll be fun to watch.

by tylerross via twitter 7/19/2014 2:42:02 PM
Sergio Garcia finishes off with a par five and is nine under for the tournament. He will definitely believe he has a shout tomorrow...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:43:38 PM
McIlroy produces a stunning second shot on the 18th and sets up a realistic eagle opportunity. A birdie looks guaranteed at the very least.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:46:04 PM
Watching #RoryMcIlroy demolish everyone! #TheOpen #BritishOpen

by Courtney via twitter 7/19/2014 2:49:05 PM
That was right up there with his approach to 18 at The Honda in March. Stunning iron from McIlroy #TheOpen

by Joe Downes via twitter 7/19/2014 2:49:19 PM
McIlroy eagles the 18th!!! What a finish to a super round of 68 and the young Irishman will go into the final day sitting on a six shot cushion.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:52:13 PM
Just when you thought Rory was too conservative. The pedal was pushed down hard. Amazing finish to round 3. #TheOpen

by Golf Ghost via twitter 7/19/2014 2:52:13 PM
Dustin Johnson birdies the last and is nine under...

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:53:17 PM
Go on McIlroy 16 under-par going into tomorrows final round! #TheOpen

by Luke_Bird via twitter 7/19/2014 2:53:17 PM
What a round by @McIlroyRory Eagle 18th to finish -16. He's definitely a #finisher #TheOpen

by GolferBoyHC via twitter 7/19/2014 2:53:23 PM
What a finish for @McIlroyRory another eagle now -16! 6 shot lead #wow hopefully #nervesofsteele tomorrow to keep the rest behind #TheOpen;)

by AnneDoyle1987 via twitter 7/19/2014 2:53:28 PM
Rory's display at #TheOpen is just beautiful

by Matt Sakdalan via twitter 7/19/2014 2:53:43 PM
Rory has deserved it this week. Relentless and ruthless #TheOpen

by AdamSwanick via twitter 7/19/2014 2:54:06 PM
Right folks, that your lot. McIlroy was supreme and frequently serene at Hoylake today and it's going to take something pretty spectacular from someone to hunt him down on Sunday. Please join me here tomorrow from midday and I'll strive to talk you through the final 18 holes of the 2014 Open.

by Iain Spragg 7/19/2014 2:56:38 PM
Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the final day of The Open at Hoylake. I'm back a little head of schedule this morning but if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly. The skies are blue over the course, the sun is shining brightly and we're set for what will be a fascinating day of top notch golf.

by Iain Spragg 7/20/2014 10:32:50 AM
Messrs McIlroy and Fowler don't tee off until 2.40 this afternoon but with the first pairing of Charley Hoffman and Billy Hurley starting at 8.35 this morning, there are plenty of players out on the course already.

by Iain Spragg 7/20/2014 10:37:19 AM
None of the aforementioned field have been able to make an impression on the leaders as yet. The best player out there at the moment is American Jason Dufner who is three under for the day after the 10th.

by Iain Spragg 7/20/2014 10:39:49 AM
It's another disappointing round for Tiger Woods, who is now four over for the tournament and, frankly, a shadow of his former self at Hoylake. Whether it's his dodgy back or a mental problem remains to be seen.

by Iain Spragg 7/20/2014 10:43:46 AM
The greens at The Open Championship look immaculate. Congratulations to the head green keeper and his staff. #theopen #visitwirral

.@TigerWoods really needs to go back to Butch Harmon but he's too stubborn to seek him out. His swing looks very ordinary... #TheOpen

by scottgumbleton via twitter 7/20/2014 10:44:36 AM
Our defending Champion Phil Mickelson is about to tee off with @cabrera_pato. Play well gents. #TheOpen

by The Open via twitter 7/20/2014 10:44:47 AM
Such a beautiful day at #TheOpen

Bogey for Woods on the 11th and at the moment there are just three players at Hoylake with a worse scorecard than the three-time champion. His 69 on the first day is a very distant memory indeed.

by Iain Spragg 7/20/2014 10:51:44 AM
Are these people out of their minds talking about Tiger being finished? He has played golf once in about 5 months. #TheOpen
