Matt Fitzpatrick’s commendable 66 has placed him in a prime position to break. A 33-year drought for an English winner of the Open, but he’ll have to overcome the formidable world. No one Scotty shuffler to achieve this feat. Just moments after the 2022 US Open champion reclaimed his spot at the top of a major leaderboard with a nine underpar total at Royal Portrait, his American adversary fired off consecutive birdies at the 16th and 17th holes. Resting the lead from the chef golfer, the victor of May’s USPGA appeared in formidable form as he reached 10 under.

However, he made amends with a brilliant 23 ft par save on the final hole only for Sheffler to surge ahead with an impressive charge. I’m giving myself an opportunity to win the golf tournament, but there’s still a hell of a long way to go. The 30-year-old set to join Sheffller in Saturday’s headline final pairing said, “Obviously, the aim of the game is to
