Jordan Spieth has a leading part in the British Open and a big advantage in the experience. Still only 24 years old, he has already won three majors and his name is the last engraved at the base of the silver clarinet jug.
A name in the mix makes everything feel so new.
I wanted to fight a tiger with a major. Spieth said after the young Texan grabbed a calm Carnoustie for a 6-under 65 tied for the lead with Kevin Kisner and Xander Schauffele.
"It's a dream come true just to have the opportunity."
Woods feels the same thing.
Never in the mix at the Masters, Last weekend at the US Open, the five-time world champion jumped Saturday with a record of 66, his lowest in the eighth final in eight years .
He did not get the best score. He was four shots behind.
But it's Tiger Woods, and it was still felt by thousands of fans who crammed themselves on the fairways and behind the greens while Woods ran three consecutive birdies in the bend and then two for the birdie on the par -five 14th to clear a path, even if it only lasted 20 minutes.
"I showed that I stayed close enough with a chance to win this year," Woods said: "Given what has happened in recent years, I did not know if it would happen again, but here I have a chance to come on Sunday in a major championship. "19659013] It was a bit like that Saturday, a rare day when Carnoustie had little defense.
Justin Rose, who made the number cup with a birdie on his last hole, equaled the Carnoustie record for the Open with a 64.
Spieth set the tone in the afternoon when he decided to go to the first tee to hit the driver on the 396-yard hole. He sent her bouncing and rolling on the firm grass, down a hill and on the green about 10 feet away for an eagle.
Moments later, Woods began his fight to argue for the first time in five years
He never stopped. Seven players had a share of the head at one point. Kisner, who started the third round tied, has never been far but had to work hard to stay there.
He made a par to the 17th, then rose from behind the 18th green. 68.
Schauffele, the PGA Tour rookie of the year last season, managed a 30-foot putt behind the 18th green for a 67.
They were under 204.
"We" "A dozen players were separated by four shots, which is nothing considering the two former champions of British Open at Carnoustie, rallied from 10 shots (Paul Lawrie) and six shots ( Padraig) Harrington) the last day
The wind should be the strongest of the week and then there is the presence of Woods, who plays in the penultimate group.
Woods has Quietly started with a few birdies across eight holes, he began his move with a 40-foot birdie putt on number nine, followed by short birdies putts on the next two holes and with a birdie of two putts on the par-five 14th he put his name at the top of the ranking.
He was there for only 20 minutes, but he was there. 9659003] A bogey on the 16th and a parry from little Barry Burn on the 18th gave him a 66. He thought it would keep him at least within range.
He found himself as close to the head as he was in a major since he was two behind Muirfield at the British Open 2013.
"I'm right there" , he said. "I have a chance at that, which is great."
And he has company.
Kevin Chappell, who spent most of his turn staring at Spieth, birdied the 18 for a 67 backstroke.
Francesco Molinari had a 66 and will play in the same group with Woods. They were together three weeks ago when Woods handed him the trophy at the National after Molinari shot 62 for an eight-shot victory.
Twelve players were separated by four shots, a group that includes Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Zach Johnson
Scott charges on Open leaderboard
There is also Australian Adam Scott
After so heartbreaking chess, Scott craves a British Open Claret Jug to go with his 2013 Masters jacket and gets another blow Sunday after Scott's hung on Carnoustie's head
Scott held on Saturday to win a 68 under the total of 68, which left the former world number five strokes back on the last lap
McIlroy and Woods resurgent – who dominated a major ranking for the first time in five years in his round of 66 – are 5 under and a Scott front. [19659003Finalistin2012andleaderoflastdaysin2013and2015Scotts'wasdiscoveredthatthenhancedtowardsthefirstAustralidecoveryofchildrenGregNormanilyaQuartyearoftheCenturyRememberingtheOpen
But Scott knows that the gods of golf will need to smile at him.
"I'm going to have to do an incredible trick to put myself in," he said
"I do not know what I want, a lot of wind maybe to make it harder, but I'm going to just have to find that big game of golf. "
The young Lucas Herbert pistol is the only other realistic hope of Australia having climbed to two pennies with a shining eagle the climax of a second successive round of 69. [19659003MarcLeishmans'isfoundtobenotcreasedbythemid-pointofthesecondhalfoftheyearwhileJasonDayisturning10thafterasteady72
A number of suitors dropped a day when there was no time back. McIlroy was two pats in the head until bogeys on two of his last three holes for a 70 left him four behind.
Johnson, staying in the same house as Kisner, Spieth, and four other Americans, had delighted the crowd when he sank a huge eagle putt on the sixth to take a share in advance at 7. under.
However, he then hung his approach on number 12 and three-putted for a double bogey.
He shot 72 and was in the group four behind. Tommy Fleetwood joined them, who lost three shots in two holes on the last nine en route to a 71.
Of the five players separated by three shots, only Spieth has experience in winning a major.
He will try to become the first player since Harrington in 2008 to win the oldest championship golf in consecutive years.
This is the 16th time that he occupies at least one part of the majors' head in the five years. he played them regularly. And it is the first time that he has to look over his shoulder at Woods
