The Open 2024 Live: Golf leaderboard and third-round scores as Shane Lowry chases Clarett Jugg

MacIntyre's second shot on 11 got him out of a tough position, but he overshot it and it went past the green. He'll need an up-and-down to save par here – but he can't get it, and it's back-to-back bogeys at +5.

I get out of the sand on 14 and Sharma goes for a bit with his birdie putt. The South Korean cannot sink the putt for par, and he moves to par with his playing partner at +2.

Thomas again makes par in three and his tee shot makes the fairway.

10 up the course and Adam Scott misses another birdie opportunity so he's at +1. Will he be the first to reach par today?

At 15, Homa has a birdie chance to get to +2, but he pulls it wide.

On the 10th, MacIntyre lays on the green as he picks up the putter. He is very short, but should be able to guide the par shot – however he misses, and it's a +4 for the Scottish Open champion. He will be very disappointed in that.

He approaches Dee on Railway 11, working against a light headwind, but he doesn't land far from the tracks in the crowd.

At the eighth, Adam Scott missed a birdie attempt that would have put him at par, but he started the day well.

Im and Sharma looked to continue on the morning of the 13th and sank a lovely birdie to go +2 and four over for the day.

At two again, Thomas skims a birdie putt. The American is not happy yet as he is four over.

McIntyre's approach pin on the ninth and landing on the first cutting edge. It's highly unlikely he'll get a shot here – and his birdie putt lands wide, but he'll tap in for par.

On the 12th, I chipped the green, giving me another birdie opportunity. Even if it's the lips, he's on an over for now! Very close.

Thomas goes inches wide of the first with a putt for birdie, and he'll start the day at even par.

Adam Scott sinks a birdie to make +1.

Fitzpatrick bogeyed the ninth and would go six over on the back nine. Not happening to him today.

At the eighth, MacIntyre has another birdie chance, but it skims the hole! So bad luck. His tee shot on the ninth is good, coming up with reasonable bunkers.

On the 11th, both myself and playing partner Sharma again have a birdie chance, but neither can sink it.

Harman can only make par on the first hole, but has a birdie chance at the second.

Justin Thomas will be on the field any time now as he will improve on day two where he was taken from -3 to +4.

Rickie Fowler has his first birdie of the day and moves to +5. I'm looking for his sixth birdie of the day, but his putt is too short and he's at +1.

Another early bird, this one for Adam Scott and he moves to +2.

Defending champion Harman opens the day with a shot that goes plum down the middle of the fairway.

The railway goes up to the 11th, leaving Homem, avoiding the tracks and guiding it in the middle.

MacIntyre manages the green on the seventh and has a birdie chance, but it's long and it goes wide. He will be at +3.

MacIntyre plays a great chip to within inches of the pin to set himself up for a birdie on the sixth. He takes his chance and switches to +3.

Fitzpatrick's birdie chance goes awry after being misjudged from left to right, but he'll finish eighth.

Im continuing his enjoyable morning with his fifth birdie of the day, taking him to +1 – maybe even in contention if he continues in this vein.

Phil Mickelson starts his day with his first bogey and goes to +6.

On the seventh, Fitzpatrick's approach is good and sets him up for a birdie chance, and on the ninth, Homa's birdie putt lips out, so he remains at +4.

Max Homma birdied his first seven holes in two-under again, and he moved to +4. He also gets eighth place.

MacIntyre hit his second shot on the par-five fourth. He pumps and runs to try to catch the bird, but it doesn't come.

I made another birdie – his fourth so far on the front nine – so he's at +2.

Conditions this morning are more favorable than the past two days, with wind speeds much lower than they have been. The move could throw a spanner in the works.

Sungjae Im Now makes his third birdie, so he moves to +3. Not much to report in terms of improvements Fitzpatrick And Maximum Homam Stay at +5 and MacIntyre Stays at +4. Matt Wallace is also +4 to four.
