Jason Day is tied for seventh, six behind the Irish leader Shane Lowry, four adrift of the English pair of Dan Brown and former US Open champion Justin Rose.
Jason Day has been left flying the flag for Australian men’s golf after an otherwise wretched day on the Royal Troon links ended with the rest of the gold-and-green challenge at the British Open being blown away.
At one under, Day is tied for seventh, six behind the Irish leader Shane Lowry, four adrift of the English pair of Dan Brown and former US Open champion Justin Rose but only one behind Scottie Scheffler, Billy Horschel and Dean Burmester. Day, who’s finished runner-up in each of the majors, is now hoping for a big push over the weekend to add to the PGA crown he won nine years ago.“You just kind of try and be as steady as I was today,” he said of his prospective approach in the third round.
The little 110m horror may have spooked him as he turned for home with three more straight bogeys, but the tough 44-year-old holed a 9.5m shot for birdie at the penultimate hole to ensure his 77 was enough at five over for him to make his 19th Open cut from 24 attempts.
