The Open Championship is the oldest major in professional golf, and its list of winners is long and varied. From legends of the game like Harry Vardon and Bobby Jones to contemporary stars like Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, the Claret Jug has some legendary names etched into it.
On Sunday at Royal Liverpool, one lucky golfer will add their name to the list.
Brian Harman leads the way with a five-stroke lead at 12 under, but there is plenty of firepower in chase. Cameron Young will play alongside him in the final pairing, while Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland tee off in the penultimate pairing.
