Justin Rose put himself into position to win The Open Championship at Troon after making an excellent start to the final round alongside overnight leader Billy Horschel and South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence.

Rose, who shot to prominence at the 1998 Open at Royal Birkdale as the leading amateur, is bidding to win the Claret Jug for the first time and made three birdies to reach the back nine at -6 overall.

2019 Open champion Shane Lowry fired himself into contention, while Americans Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele are also in pursuit. Jon Rahm was the early mover but the Spaniard’s hot start faded.

England’s major debutant Dan Brown dropped away on the front nine, after leading the Open heading up the 18th last night before carding a double bogey on the final hole.

The leading amateur – and soon to be Silver Medal winner – Calum Scott makes the walk onto the green at 18. His nearest challenger is three shots behind on +11, as it stands. He holes it for par and +8, having shot 76 today.

Rose tees off on 11 looking to avoid the tracks and bushes, and he does just that. Schauffele does the same, and both have avoided a potentially round-changing mistake.

On 10, Henley is the latest to fall short with the birdie putt. Lawrence’s approach shot gets to the green, but it’s not looking like a birdie chance from that deep.

The birdies are already starting to appear less frequently as the players make their way onto the back nine.

Lowry made par on 10, before his approach on 11 landed him with a difficult task to save par. He missed it, taking the bogey and moving to -3.

Both Schauffele and Rose settle for par on 10 too, but we do have a new leader! Lawrence chips his approach onto the green and kills it dead, landing a few feet from the pin and barely moving at all after.He’s at -7 now.

Elsewhere, Jon Rahm is coming to the end of his day after what was a promising start. He’s on the 16th at -1 as he hooks out of the bunker.

Horschel gave himself the perfect opportunity for the up and down out of the bunker on eight, but then he misses a simple putt for par! He falls back to -5.

Scheffler is a fair distance away with his latest birdie putt attempt, and he’ll go onto the 11th at -2.

Lowry avoids the tracks on the Railway and then finds the centre of the fairway with his second shot, but he’s failed to find the green in regulation.

Below is the shot that got Rose into the lead on eight.

Lowry dropped a shot on 10, moving to -4.

Rose’s birdie attempt on nine is ambitious, and he falls short. He makes par though, and he’s shot 33 through the front nine. His playing partner, Xander Schauffele, can’t find the birdie either, so he stays on -5.

Burns sneaks up to -2, but there’s work to do to make some ground on the leaders.

Lawrence joins the leaders on -6 after holing a fairly straightforward putt on seven, and he’s got the Postage Stamp up next. So does Horschel, and he tees off straight into the greenside bunker.

Lowry’s blind tee shot at 10 takes him onto the fairway. Nice technique from the Irishman, cutting it left to right.

Rose has a birdie chance on the Postage Stamp but it’s from deep – and he holes it! What an effort, and he moves into the joint lead.

And an equally surprising event on nine Scheffler is putting from off the green for the birdie, but there’s too much on it. He misses the par putt, and it’s an easy knock to take the bogey, but he overcooks that too! He moves back to -2.

Rose is lying downhill as he goes for the birdie at seven, but it’s short. He makes par.

Lowry has his own birdie attempt on eight, but he misses too.

And it’s back-to-back birdies for Schauffele as he guides it in from short! He moves to-5.

But the joint lead isn’t shared for long! Moments later, Horschel tucks in the birdie putt to go to six-under.

Lawrence has the chance to join him, but he hasn’t read it well and he’ll settle for par.

Dan Brown has fallen back a little, staying at -1 as he narrowly misses a birdie putt.

On eight, Scheffler’s tee shot gives him a great birdie chance – he’s read the line well and sank it to move to -4!

Lowry reads it well and sinks the birdie on eight, and he moves up to -4! Right among the contenders.

Schauffele responds by birdieing the sixth, and he moves level with the Irishman.

Rose is inches away from a birdie at the sixth, bending his knees as it sneaks past the hole.

One back, Horschel saves par impressively after finding the bunker at the par-3, as does Lawrence. It’s as you were.
