The Open Leaderboard And Live Updates: Day 3 From Royal Troon

BAD START TO BACK NINE FOR MACINTYRE 

After a two-under front nine, local favourite Bob MacIntyre is back to +5 again after bogeys on the 10th and 11th.  He has then found the green side bunker of the 12th with his second and it doesn’t take an expert lip reader to work out Bob is cursing.

Matteo MANASSERO continues to make progress

Manassero, who won the silver medal at the Open as the low amateur in in 2009, is back on the rise after a spell in the doldrums. He is now +2 for the tournament in total after successive birdies at the second and third today. He is also on the par 5 fourth in two where he can make further gains as he gets his third straight birdie. 

ADAM SCOTT HAS UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH THE OPEN

Adam Scott,44, is one of the most consistent pros on tour and he has stated he still has unfinished business with the Open after blowing up at Lytham in 2012 when Ernie Els won following the Australian’s late collapse. Scott has made a decent move today and is +1 in total after reaching the turn in -4 today.

TODAY’S PIN POSITIONS 

IM’S the man on the front nine 

Sungjae Im completed the front nine in five-under-par. He chipped in on the 9th to record the best front nine of the week of 31 and is now at one-over for the Championship after three successive pars on 10,11 and 12.

MAX HOMA CONTINUES TO PROGRESS UP LEADERBOARD

American Homa finished his second round in style with a lengthy birdie putt on the the 18th last night to make the cut on the +6 number. He has continued that momentum today with two more birdies to get to +4.

PLENTY OF SUPPORT FOR SCOT BOB MacINTYRE who is in action

After making the cut with a barnstorming comeback yesterday, MacIntyre has delighted the Scottish fans by picking up another couple of birdies today in benign conditions to reach the turn at -2 for his round and +3 in total.
