Previewing Open Championship Round 3
In a theme we’ve gotten used to over the years, Jordan Spieth is once again near the top of the leaderboard on a weekend at a major. Spieth hasn’t actually won a major since back in 2017 at this esteemed championship, but he’s contended at the previous three majors in 2021 after turning around his game.

He’s three shots behind leader Louis Oosthuizen heading into the final 36 holes, with another major winner, Collin Morikawa, in second at nine under, setting up what should be a thrilling third round.
On Saturday Spieth will start his round in the second-to-last pairing at 10:45 a.m. ET alongside Dylan Frittelli. Oosthuizen and Morikawa will tee off in the next and final pairing at 10:55 a.m. ET.
