Rory McIlroy is 18 holes away from achieving his “dream” to win The Open at St Andrews after a stunning charge yesterday.
The Northern Irish ace shot a brilliant six-under 66 on the Old Course in the 150th Open. He finished level at 16-under with Victor Hovland after the duo overhauled leader Cameron Smith to set-up a box office final round pairing this afternoon in Scotland.
Four-time Major winner McIlroy, 33, said: “It's unbelievably cool to have a chance to win The Open at St Andrews. It's what dreams are made of and I'm going to try to make a dream come true.”
