Tommy Fleetwood has just arrived at the course
Fleetwood has just arrived at Royal Birkdale. He tees off in 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Today10:54 BST
Winning score
A lot of chat in the media centre about what score the winner will finish on.
Plenty feel -11 could be enough. If that was to be the case, Fleetwood would have to score a round of 64 to be in with a shout.
Today10:29 BST
Don't rule out Bryson DeChambeau
So, as things stand, Sam Burns is the clubhouse leader heading into today’s final round.
Burns shot a record-equalling 62 in Friday's second round and quickly picked up where he left off with four birdies on the front nine yesterday.
A bogey on the ninth threatened to halt his progress, but he picked up two more shots at 14 and 17 to take command.
Burns' total of 127 shots from rounds two and three (62, 65) is the lowest total across any two rounds in men's major championship history.
Ryan Fox became the third man in 24 hours at Royal Birkdale to equal the lowest round in a men’s major with a 62 and remains in the hunt for the Claret Jug.
But if I had to pick a name from outside the chasing pack then I would go with Bryson DeChambeau as ever since the drama on Friday night I have been convinced he would win.
Today10:11 BST
Tommy Fleetwood still dreaming of Open glory
Tommy Fleetwood is hoping home support can inspire him to make a final-day Open fightback.
The 35-year-old got himself to within one of the lead on his back nine on Saturday, only to drop a couple of shots down the stretch, leaving him with an uphill task to become the first Englishman to win a Claret Jug since 1992.
A round of 69 left him five under par for the tournament and five off the lead held by Sam Burns.
And Fleetwood said: “I would rather be on a better score, but if I can build some momentum, if I can get the crowd going a little bit and those roars echo around the golf course, you never know.
“You daydream and you dream about the biggest things possible and then you try and make it a reality. I’ve done it most days since I was seven years old and it still hasn’t stopped. That’s what life’s about, right?”

Welcome to Royal Birkdale
Good morning and welcome to Royal Birkdale for the final day of the 154th Open Championship. What a three days it has been so far! We’ve had drama on and off the course, records equaled and tonight someone will get their hands on the Claret Jug. Will it be Tommy Fleetwood? Well, the hometown favorite has a chance, but he needs to produce the round of his life and hope that his rivals have rounds to forget. But one thing is for certain: it is set to be a fascinating day.
Today10:00 BST
Ludvig Aberg
Aberg is paired with Lucas Herbert in the third-to-last pairing today and I've just got a feeling he might have a strong day.
This could also be me jinxing. Apologies in advance if that's the case, Ludvig.
Today09:58 BST
Great atmosphere on the course
I have just left the media centre to have a stroll round the spectator village. It's quiet at the minute but there is a buzz in the air.
As we get later into the day that is only going to build.
People are already getting their positions in the grandstand on the 18th. They will not move all day. I hope they've got plenty of water and sun cream.

Tommy Fleetwood

A good day to be a sports lover
What a day of sport we have got today.
We've got The Open at Royal Birkdale, England vs India in the third ODI at Lords and the small matter of the World Cup final this evening between Argentina and Spain.
It is far too early now, but if you aren't on the course today, it's a perfect day to get based on the couch and crack open a few cold ones and enjoy a marathon of sport.
I will be out and about at Royal Birkdale today but will also be keeping an eye on the cricket then following the events here I will be watching the World Cup Final with a pint.
