British Open final round tee times: Brian Harman takes 5-shot lead into Sunday

Though it initially looked like he may slip, Brian Harman is still in full control of the The Open Championship.

Harman, after opening the day with a massive five-shot lead at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England, carded a 2-under 69 on Saturday. He overcame a pair of bogeys in his first four holes and maintained his five-shot lead after 54 holes.

Harman will now enter the final day of play in a great position to pick up just his third career victory, and his first-ever major championship.

Jon Rahm did his best to close the gap. Rahm posted an incredible bogey-free 8-under 63 on Saturday, which moved him into second place when he entered the clubhouse. That set the course record at Royal Liverpool by two strokes, and marked Rahm’s lowest round ever at a major championship.

“That’s the best round I’ve played on a links golf course ever,” he said.

But when Rahm entered the clubhouse, Harman was just getting started with his round. Cameron Young made a late push of his own, too, with a 5-under 66 that moved him to 7-under on the week. That secured Young’s spot in the final group with Harman. Rahm will be in the penultimate group alongside Viktor Hovland, who jumped up 21 spots on the leaderboard with his 5-under 66.

The final round of tees off at 2:45 a.m. ET on Sunday morning.
