2024 British Open: Round 4 Sunday tee times and pairings
There are eight players within two shots at the top of the leader board, setting up a thrilling final day of The Open at Royal Troon Golf Club.
American Billy Horschel leads the way after three days of action at Royal Troon Golf Club, holding a one-shot advantage ahead of the all-important final day of The Open.
The tricky conditions continued on Saturday with fierce winds and persistent rain, making life difficult for the world’s top players. Horschel shot a 69, leaving him on -4 with one round remaining.
Behind him are six players level on -3: Thriston Lawrence, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Xander Schauffele, Justin Rose and Dan Brown. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is one shot further back on -2 and remains within striking distance of top spot.
The story of the tournament so far has been the incredible form of Brown, the 29-year-old Englishman making his major championship debut. He led after the first round at Royal Troon and, although he’s dropped back slightly, is still targeting a historic triumph.

On Friday the Northern Irishman explained: “I didn’t adapt well at all to that left-to-right wind yesterday on the back nine, and then this afternoon going out in that gusty wind on the front, as I said, it got the better of me, and I felt pretty uncomfortable over a few shots.”
