The Open Championship is teed up for a mouthwatering final showdown after a pulsating battle between Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland at St. Andrews, Scotland on Saturday.
Partnered for the third round at the Old Course, the duo began the day tied and could not be separated after 18 holes of spectacular golf, ending the day sharing a four-stroke advantage at the summit.
Their six-under 66 score saw them leapfrog and race clear of Cameron Young and day two leader Cameron Smith, who carded 71 and 73 respectively to head into Sunday tied at 12-under par.
