The final round of the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon begins on Sunday, with a seriously congested top of the leaderboard pointing to a thrilling day’s play.

Billy Horschel is the clubhouse leader after carding a two-under 69 to move to -4 for the weekend. World No. 272 Daniel Brown endured a difficult end to Saturday, dropping three shots over the final two holes to slip to -3 after leading for much of the third round.

Shane Lowry endured a torrid back nine but is still in with a chance of challenging for the Claret Jug. Xander Schauffele, Justin Rose, Thriston Lawrence, Sam Burns and Russell Henley are all at -3 heading into the final day and are right in the mix.

Weather conditions were dreadful for much of Saturday and, although things are expected to improve, it is likely that whoever copes best with the wind and rain will emerge victorious.

Open Championship live updates, results, highlights from Sunday’s Round 4

(All times Eastern.)

10:53 a.m.: Rose raises a fist to the crowd as he joins Horschel on six under par. There’s a steely eyed look to the Englishman today. Schauffele attempts to join them but just can’t find the length.

10:48 a.m.: Schauffele with a birdie at seven, but Horschel moves to -6! Good pressure putt there. He regains the outright lead.

10:40 a.m.: Schauffele and Scheffler each move to four under, so we now have seven players separated by a single stroke.

10:35 a.m.: Here comes Shane Lowry! A third birdie at the Postage Stamp this week moves him to within a shot of the leaders.

10:31 a.m.: Par for Lawrence and Henley — who played a fine bunker shot — at the fifth, as a huge cargo plane descends into nearby Prestwick Airport. The roar of those engines would’ve been nothing compared to the crowd at the sixth had Rose sunk that birdie putt, but it just didn’t have the legs.

10:24 a.m.: Russell Henley makes the most of a superb tee shot on the fifth to move within a stroke of the leaders. Lowry birdies at the seventh and is back to -3.

10:19 a.m.: Horschel moves back to five under! Great response to that dropped shot, and the pressure is back on Rose. Lawrence follows suit to join the leaders at -5.

10:15 a.m.: Schauffele skirts the edge of the hole but can’t quite make the birdie. At the fifth, Rose pars to stay at five under. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm has dug himself out of some trouble at the 11th, escaping with a bogey. He’s not quite out of the running yet. Daniel Brown is also now at one under after back-to-back bogeys in a tricky start here.

10:05 a.m.: Another birdie and another fist-pump from Rose. He leads the Open at -5. 

9:59 a.m.: Horschel drops a shot at the third, and he’s back to four under, level with Rose. The first sign of nerves for the day? No such worries for Thriston Lawrence, who moves to -4. We have a three-way tie for the lead.

9:55 a.m.: Shane Lowry sinks a birdie putt from over 56 feet! What might that do for his chances? He’s now three off the lead and, surely, feeling confident.

9:44 a.m.: A chance goes begging for Rose as he rolls a birdie putt inches wide. Horschel may already feel luck is on his side, having sent his tee shot at the second right into the spectators only to end up with an enviable lie.

9:31 a.m.: Rose birdies the second! The Englishman moves onto four under with Horschel. Scheffler picks up a stroke on the third and is now just one behind. Can Horschel respond with a birdie at the first? Oh, you bet he can. Superb putt.

9:28 a.m.: Horschel, West Ham bag in tow, hits the final opening tee shot of the day. It’s a good one.

9:03 a.m.: Here’s Justin Rose, still clad in his claret sweater. He comfortably finds the fairway. Playing partner Xander Schauffele does likewise. They both look locked in here.

8:57 a.m.: Scottie Scheffler and Daniel Brown are off and running. The latter found the rough off the first tee, but it doesn’t look too thick.

8:38 a.m.: Justin Thomas tees off just four strokes behind Horschel… and it’s a horrible shank that nearly lands on the beach. He’ll stay where he is and try again. In the end, it’s a triple bogey to start his round, which moves him to +3 overall. What a wretched way to start.

8:21 a.m.: Jon Rahm is a man on a mission: birdies on the first three holes has put him within three strokes of the leader!

8:00 a.m.: Justin Rose is here, and he’s wearing a claret-coloured sweater. Does he believe?

7:56 a.m.: Phil Mickelson is out here making pars from lies like this.

7:24 a.m.: Cameron Young is inches from a superb eagle putt on the fourth. He makes the birdie and moves to one under for the day, and seven off the lead.

6:46 a.m.: Home favourite Bob MacIntyre, a week on from his Scottish Open triumph, is at one under through the front nine. A top-20 finish isn’t out of the question.

6:12 a.m.: Jordan Spieth hasn’t had the best weekend, but boy, he enjoyed this. The 2017 champion is three under through the first eight holes today.

5:18 a.m.: What a start to the day from Harris English — a birdie on the first for the American. It’s even better when you look at how the wind is whipping up that flag…

4:47 a.m.: You may have noticed Thriston Lawrence is in a tie for second after carding a brilliant 65 yesterday. You may also be wondering who Thriston Lawrence is.

Here’s a look at the professional career of South Africa’s world no. 98.

4:03 a.m.: If you’re looking for a marker of how the course is playing today: Darren Clarke has gone -3 through the first five holes. The 2011 Open champion is making it look easy out there!

3:39 a.m.: It was Billy Horschel who best executed a round in Saturday’s dreadful wind and rain. The American was in a tie for fourth at the U.S. Open back in 2013 but has never got closer to winning a major. Could that change today?

3:00 a.m.: Six golfers tied for second, the leader one stroke ahead, the world No. 1 just a single shot further back. This could be quite some finish to the 2024 Open Championship.
