Spieth finds himself three back courtesy of three bogeys coming in, including a two-foot miss for par on 18, and with scoring set to be tricky again on Sunday, the 2017 Open Champion now needs a bit of help from the front two and particularly in Morikawa’s case I just can’t see it coming. The 24-year-old landed his first Major last August and with four wins on tour in less than two years he clearly has the winning habit.Īfter struggling on the greens last week in Scotland the American has worked it out with the putter this week and any time he does that whilst continuing to be dialled in with his approaches he will be hard to beat. In his career to date Morikawa has shown an ability to take everything in his stride and with no wind to speak of forecast on Sunday to derail him I am happy to side with him to continue to pepper the pins and land his second Major. Ultimately though without a win anywhere in over two-and-a-half years and with the baggage he brings in to today I can’t bring myself to trust him at the odds. Morikawa conversely heads into Sunday with absolutely nothing to prove. Sky Sports Golf/ Main Event, Live coverage from 8am NEW TO PADDY POWER? After a nervy stretch of holes the South African made a superb birdie at 16 and it could be that the way he steadied the ship towards the end of his round gives him the belief to go to the wire and finally land his second Major.
With six runner-up Major Championship finishes to his name, Oosthuizen will surely be the one who has the most to lose going into today’s final round. Oosthuizen battled tougher scoring conditions on Saturday, which derailed the challenges of the likes of Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, to add a 69 to his efforts on the first two days, and he now sits on 12- under, one stroke clear of Collin Morikawa on 11- under.īehind this pair we then find Jordan Spieth on 9- under and the duo of Scottie Scheffler and Corey Conners on 8- under. With all of the last 31 Majors having been won by a player within four shots of the lead heading in to Sunday it is highly likely the winner will come from this quintet. With the dust settled on the third round of The Open at Royal St George’s the man in sole possession of the 54-hole lead is the same player who held the advantage through the first two rounds, Louis Oosthuizen. *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widget, while in-copy odds are accurate at the time of publication but subject to change Outright winner Please allow functional cookies for this to work.
