Billy Horschel takes a one-shot lead into the final round of The 152nd Open, as major debutant Dan Brown suffered a costly finish and Shane Lowry squandered a commanding advantage.
Horschel came into the weekend three strokes back but charged up the leaderboard with four birdies in a six-hole stretch, in treacherous conditions, with a two-under 69 seeing the American set the clubhouse target at four under.
World No 272 Brown held a one-shot lead until three dropped shots in the final two holes dropped him in to a seven-way tie for second, with PGA champion Xander Schauffele among that logjam as he chases a second major victory of the season.
Scottie Scheffler is just two shots adrift as he searches for a seventh win in 11 starts, while Lowry – who led by three at one stage of an eventful round – is three back and in ninth spot after slumping to a six-over 77.
