The Open 2024: third round updates – live

Should we start the day with a sugar rush? Come on then! It’s Kim Si-woo on the 238-yard 17th. He’s a +7 so we wouldn’t normally go straight to the 29-year-old Korean… except he gently sends a long iron into the green. He lands front edge, takes a few hops and then calmly rolls into the cup! For a second he looks around as if he can’t believe what’s just happened, before a big smile spreads across his face, high-fives his caddie and mimics the soft left-to-right flight of his ball with his arm! That’s the longest hole-in-one in Open history and the first on the 17th at Troon since detailed records began with the R&A in 1981.

Welcome to Moving Day during the 152nd Open Championship! After 36 holes the top of the leaderboard looked like this…

-7: Lowry
-5: Brown, Pink
-2: Horschel, Burmester, Scheffler
-1: Conners, Dag, Schauffele, Cantlay
E: Jordan, Niemann
+1: D Johnson, Koepka, Morikawa, Hughes, Rahm

…while these (selected) big names missed the cut…

Akshay Bhatia, Keegan Bradley, Will Zalatoris, Henrik Stenson, Louis Oosthuizen, Tyrrell Hatton, Min Woo Lee, Francesco Molinari, Zach Johnson, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Åberg, Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland, Tom Kim, Rory McIlroy, Cameron Smith, Sahith Theegala and Tiger Woods

…and that gave us a turn-by-turn schedule that looked like this (all times BST, GB&I unless otherwise stated). It is on!
