British Open 2026 Saturday Round 3 Tee Times

Lucas Herbert stunned the field on Friday with a 62, handing him a two‑shot advantage heading into the weekend. The Australian’s low round positions him comfortably atop the leaderboard after 36 holes. Bryson DeChambeau entered the day close behind but fell three strokes off the pace after a two‑stroke penalty on the fifth hole. The two‑time U.S. Open champion now sits at −5, still in contention but playing catch‑up.
