The Open 2019 tee times: Third round start times for Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and more

JB Holmes and Shane Lowry shared the lead going into the third day at Royal Portrush

The Open Championship in numbers

A year after sacking his caddie following his fourth straight missed cut in the The Open, Ireland’s Shane Lowry will take a share of the lead – and Rory McIlroy‘s fervent support – into the third round of the year’s final major.

Lowry carded a second consecutive 67 at Royal Portrush to join American JB Holmes on eight under par, with Tommy Fleetwood – who could follow Ryder Cup partner Francesco Molinari in lifting the Claret Jug – and Lee Westwood a shot behind.

Olympic champion Justin Rose is a stroke further back alongside Cameron Smith and Justin Harding, with world number one Brooks Koepka ominously poised on five under in pursuit of a fifth major win in his last 10 starts.

Former champion Jordan Spieth was alongside Koepka after a 67, but McIlroy and Tiger Woods missed the halfway cut, McIlroy agonisingly doing so by a single shot after following his opening 79 with a superb 65.

Bubba Watson (+3) records his fourth bogey of the day as he closes in on the finish. Two holes to go for the American.

American Lucas Glover moves to three under after back-to-back birdies on the second and third, he's joined by Patrick Cantlay, who records exactly the same scores as his countryman though the first three: par, birdie, birdie.

Paul Waring completes his round this afternoon four-over par for the round and five-over for the Championship.

There was a nice moment on the 17th as Portrush professional Gary McNeill, acting as Waring's marker due to the odd number of competitors, was given a rapturous applause after sinking a birdie putt.

Eagle! Aaron Wise (-2) started his round with a bogey, but recovers on the par-five second with an eagle.

Only 15 players have failed to make a birdie or eagle of the 41 that have completed the second hole today.

Incredible scenes as Graeme McDowell sinks a birdie putt on the 17th. The crowds there must be 15-20 people deep for the last raining Northern Irishman in the competition. He goes to one-underfur the Championship.

[20 July 2019 13:39 · Jack Watson]

Francesco Molinari completes his round one-over, which takes him to two-over for the Championship. Not ideal. 

The 2018 winner needs a miracle to even make the top ten tomorrow.

[20 July 2019 13:40 · Jack Watson]

Lucas Glover is enjoying a brilliant start and moves to four-under with his third consecutive birdie with a fine putt on the fourth. Great start, this.

'A couple of bad misses cost me'

Francesco Molinari tells BBC Sport that his short game never really got going: "Very good conditions, nice to see the sun out. I played well just a couple of bad misses that cost me, unfortunately the putter did not warm up for me. It's tricky but if it stays like this you can easily do four or five under. You need to be lucky not to get into trouble."

Molinari added he will be cheering on his good friend Tommy Fleetwood, who begins on seven-under, one shot off the lead. "It will be good to have his name close to mine on the Claret Jug. He definitely has a chance, hopefully he can take it."

Local favourite Graeme McDowell, who used to sneak onto this course to play it when he was younger, ends with a birdie to complete a three-under round to finish two-under for the Championship.

That's some reception for a golfer that is finishing his third round at 1:45 on a Saturday.

Meanwhile, Bubba Watson ends with par and finishes on three-over for the Championship after completing his round on 73.

Elsewhere, Hyun Sang Park of South Korea jumps to four-under for the Championship after sinking his third birdie of the day.
