Day three digest: The 2021 Open Championship

Everything you need to know from day three on the English coast.

Louis showed his mettle, Collin moved to the edge of history, Willett produced some magic and Jazz was thinking outside the box on Saturday at The 2021 Open Championship.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at Royal St George's Golf Club.

Louis leads again

After two second places in Majors on the 2021 Race to Dubai, could Sunday be the day that Louis Oosthuizen gets over the line? After looking sublime over 45 holes, the South African had to dig in on the back nine in round three but he did so brilliantly to card a 69 and take a one shot lead into the final round at 12 under. "Finishing second isn't great, so I will play my heart out tomorrow and see if I can lift the Claret Jug again," he said. It would take a brave person to bet against him.

Morikawa seeks Major milestone

Collin Morikawa is hoping to carry his links momentum into the final round as he looks to make Major history. No player has ever won two Majors on their debut appearance but after winning the 2020 US PGA Championship at the first attempt, Morikawa heads into his first Open Sunday just one shot off the lead. After rounds of 67-64-68 in Kent, the links rookie certainly looks at home playing on the coast, and he is hopeful to carry that into 18 more holes. "It's the position you want to be in," he said. "As an athlete, golfer, you want to be in this position. I love it, so I really look forward to tomorrow."

Big finish the target for Bob

Robert MacIntyre used all his links experience to card a brilliant 65 on day three as he aims for his best Major finish. The Scot made his Major debut at The Open in 2019 at Royal Portrush, finishing in a tie for sixth, and he has made the cut in all six of his Major appearances since. He holed a monster from off the green at the last in a birdie-birdie finish to catapult himself up the leaderboard and is now aiming to move further up on Sunday. "Hopefully I can just keep doing what I'm doing, keep hitting it the way I'm hitting it and keep seeing the putts going in, and hopefully we can get a high finish," he said.

Wizardry from Willett

The shot. The reaction. Take a bow, Danny Willett.

Kneesy does it

We all know that links golf requires a bit of imagination but this is next level from Jazz Janewattananond.

That's pretty good, Lee...........

If I thought about snapping all my clubs after shots like this, well, I'd still have all my clubs. But Lee Westwood wouldn't have all his.
