Mc Illroy starts day three of Open as four shot leader

The first players are out on the course at Hoylake as every effort is made to

ensure today’s third round of the Open Championship golf is completed.

The first ever two-tee start in the event’s history means all of the players

involved will have begun their rounds in just over an hour’s time.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected in the area.

Rory McIlroy is the leader on 12-under par.
