  Another birdie for JT

  The two-time PGA Championship winner has got it to -2 for the championship after another birdie on 12, and is 6-under for the day. That 2022 PGA Championship is his last win on tour, and his best finish at an Open is T11 back in 2019.

  Si Woo Kim makes a hole-in-one on No. 17

  This is the 10th Open Championship played at Royal Troon, and until today, no player had made an ace on the par-3 17th. Well, that number has gone from zero to one with Si Woo Kim’s hole-in-one in the third round. He’s at +5 for the tournament and even par for the day after the shot he’ll remember for a lifetime. Take a look:

  DP World Tour star Thriston Lawrence is charging up the leaderboard as well

  Among the low scorers in the early part of the day are names we’ve seen on Sundays at majors before…Adam Scott, Justin Thomas, but also some less heralded names like Thriston Lawrence. The South African 4-time winner on the DP World Tour is 6-under through his first 8 holes and up 24 spots on the leaderboard into 4th place.

  How’s this for staying on balance, Cam Young

  Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall.

  Oh, good, a par

  SungJae Im making big moves on Saturday

  Have a day SungJae Im! A 5-under 65 has Im at +1 for the championship and looking like he could be among the late tee times on Sunday if the conditions deteriorate on Saturday afternoon.

  Weather at Royal Toon could be a factor as the day rolls on

  The morning groups in Round 3 have dealt with much less wind than on Friday and scoring conditions have been much better — Justin Thomas is 4-under thru 7 — but that may not be the case all day, with rain and some heavy wind possible to affect the groups toward the end of the day, from about 4 p.m. local time/11 p.m. ET.

  Tiger Woods misses the weekend

  Tiger Woods missed the cut this week in Scotland, again, and calls for him to hang it up for good are growing rapidly.

  Woods, Yahoo Sports’ Jay Busbee wrote, “should still keep playing all of these tournaments as long as he damn well pleases.” He’s earned that.
