'A Guinness and something silly': Leishman still dreams

Marc Leishman knows Scottie Scheffler may have put the Claret Jug out of sight -- but Australia's only British Open hope is still dreaming of the glittering prizes a top-four finish could still bestow.

With an eve-of-final-round pint of Guinness and the alluring thought of doing something "really, really silly" out on the Royal Portrush links, the 41-year-old Victorian reckons he still has plenty to play for in Sunday's finale.

Leishman kept the Aussie flag flying with a three-under 68 in benign conditions on the Dunluce links during Saturday's third-round 'moving day', happy to shoulder the load after all his eight compatriots failed to make the cut for the weekend.
