Rory McIlroy finds himself at the top of the Open Championship leaderboard heading into the final round of the tournament, after carding a six-under-par 66 during Saturday's third round. McIlroy is not alone though as he is joined by Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland at the top on 16-under.
Hovland, himself put a superb third round together after also shooting a six-under new 66 to leave him tied at the top. Both McIlroy and Hovland were chasing down overnight leader Cameron Smith when they teed off on day three, and it was the latter who looked to make the move first.
After settling in with two early pars, Hovland burst up the leaderboard by collecting four successive birdies between the third and and sixth.
