Jordan Spieth holds a three shot lead heading into the final round of the British Open at Royal Birkdale Course. Join The Roar for a live blog of the final round.
Spieth is on track to claim his third major but will have to overcome the likes of Matt Kuchar (-8), Austin Connelly (-5) and Brooks Koepka (-5) on Sunday.
The last seven major winners have been first timers, but if Spieth is able to hold on to his lead, he will break that recent trend by claiming his first major since he won the US open in 2015.
Let’s look at some of the contenders ahead of the final round.
Jordan Spieth (-11)
With a three shot lead and the consistency he has shown over the last three days, it will difficult to hunt down the former world number one.
Spieth has the experience and knows what it takes to win the major and is terrific front-runner on the final rounds.
But most people will be aware of his meltdown at Augusta last year when he failed to hold on to a four shot lead on the final six holes.
One would think he has learnt from that final round and should win his first British Open.
Matt Kuchar (-8)
One of the crowd favourites and one of the most experienced men on the PGA circuit. Kuchar has been in fine form and has been brilliant in restricting the damage on the treacherous course.
Went shot to shot with Spieth on Saturday but will need to do more if he is to topple Spieth.
Realistically, Kuchar is the only person that could challenge Spieth.
Austin Connelly (-5)
The Canadian jumped up the leaderboard after a stunning third round of 66. Connelly found it tough going on the day two in the afternoon when the conditions were the most difficult over the last three days and given his final round tee off time is around the time, it might be difficult for the Canadian to hold on.
Brooks Koepka (-5)
Six behind the leader, the US Open winner will have to play the round of his career to catch Spieth. Koepka will be looking to finish in the top three and finish on the high.
Brandan Grace (-4)
The South African had a phenomenal third round shooting -8 to jump equal 5th on the leaderboard. Grace would need to repeat his heroics from Saturday to stand a chance to win. Perhaps his best hope to get fast and hope Spieth crumbles under pressure.

I watched the last round live I never seen speith mark where his ball on the 13TH was in the rough i never seen anyone take a line from the pin and this spot to see where a drop should have been taken Not only should such an important drop be correct, but seen to be correct I think the drop was incorrect

Kuchar taps in for for a bogey and now Spieth ever so calmly taps in his par putt

Spieth has landed it safely on the green while Kuchar has found the bunker!! Spieth raises his club to crowd as he walks to the green, he has on hand on the Claret Jug. Even if Kuchar chips in from the bunker, he can two putt and still win

Speith tee shot if just off the fairway, while Kuchar is a good 40 yards in front of him on the fairway.

Spieth chips near the hole and sinks his birdie putt, as does Kuchar but he trails by 2 with one hole to play
Gav

Kuchar can only hit his 2nd shot 40 yards short of the green. Spieth also has a difficult lie and punches it around 20 yards short of the green.

Kuchar has found some rough from his tee shot on the 17th hole. Spieth is just off the fairway.
Gav

SPIETH HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! He sinks another long putt to move to -11 Kuchar taps in for par but he now trails by 2 with two holes to play

Kuchar's approach shot on the 16th, lands on the green but trickles off on the front slope. Speith lands his on the green, but a long way from the flag.

WOW - Spieth has just sunk a monster eagle putt, as Kuchar taps in for par. It is a two way race for the Claret Jug Spieth - 10 (15) Kuchar - 9 (15)

15th is a par 5 and Kuchar has his 2nd shot in the bunker while Spieth is just on the green.

Spieth drains the birdie putt and Kuchar taps in for par. Were all even again with four holes to play.

Spieth near holes his tee shot on the 14th. He is left with a five foot for a birdie. Kuchar is also on the green but has a long 20 putt for par
Gav

After all that, Spieth has dropped only one shot to Kuchar, as he bogeys the 13. Kuchar - 8 (12) Spieth - 7 (12) Li - 6 (18) Leishman - 4 (18) Southgat - 4 (18) Noren - 4 (16)

Spieth has found his ball but will incur a one shot penalty as he hits one in the rough near the green.

Kuchar has out his 2nd shot 15-20ft from the hole. Some confusion about Spieth ball at the moment.
Gav

Spieth has pushed his drive long way to the right. Kucher also in the rough
Gav

Both make their par putts. Both still -8 as they move to the 13th hole.

Both Kuchar and Spieth have left their birdie putts 6ft short.
