The PGA Tour veteran stands at 4-under 209 and holds the lead outright after Cinderella story Daniel Brown of England double-bogeyed the final hole to drop to 3 under
Justin Rose of England and Billy Horschel of the United States embrace after finishing their round on the 18th green during day three of The 152nd Open championship at Royal Troon on July 20, 2024 in Troon, Scotland. Billy Horschel battled rainy Royal Troon and came away with a 2-under-par 69 and the 54-hole lead at the Open Championship on Saturday in Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland.
The six-way tie for second features Brown, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Sam Burns, Thriston Lawrence of South Africa and Justin Rose of England. Of the top seven players, only Schauffele and Rose have major titles to their name.Irishman Shane Lowry began the day with a two-shot lead over Brown and went up by three after birdieing the fourth hole. He proceeded to make a double bogey followed by five back-nine bogeys to shoot 77 and plummet to ninth place at 1 under, one behind World No.
Horschel then missed five straight greens in regulation at Nos. 13-17 and scrambled for five straight pars, nearly holing out for birdie from the sand at the par-5 16th. Brown, 29, is ranked No. 272 in the world and making his major championship debut. Since the dawn of the Official World Golf Ranking, the only player outside the top 200 to win a major was Ben Curtis . Keegan Bradley and Curtis are the only players who've won in their major debut in the past 100 years.
Brown and Lowry then both found the Coffin bunker at the par-3 eighth. Brown bogeyed, Lowry doubled and Horschel birdied the ninth to join them at 6 under at the time. Rose made 11 straight pars at one point, while Schauffele is in contention again after winning his first major at the PGA Championship in May. Major winners Adam Scott of Australia and Justin Thomas climbed to even par, tied with Englishman Matthew Jordan .
