To have a tee time for Saturday’s third round of the 2025 British Open means you successfully navigated the opening two rounds at Royal Portrush. Sounds simple, but that’s quite the accomplishment considering how long and grueling those two rounds tend to be—first shot off at 6:35 a.m. local time, final group off the 18th green just before 10 p.m.

The third round of the Open Championship begins on Saturday in Northern Ireland, with Scottie Scheffler leading the pack at -10.

Lowry's ball moved after a practice swing, but did he cause the movement? That's the question tournament officials were left to answer.

But, with 36 holes left, the Claret Jug is still very much up for grabs. Scheffler is paired up with Matt Fitzpatrick, who held a share of the lead after Thursday and then backed that up with a 5-under 66 on Friday. He's starting just a shot back from Scheffler. Brian Harman and Haotong Li are tied at 8-under to start the day, too.
