Scottie Scheffler has actually played some fantastic golf at The Open Championship this week. However, Scheffler’s putter has been ice cold during the first three rounds of The Open, and he is currently four strokes adrift of the leader, Sam Burns, with just 18 holes left to play.

Is it too late for a run at the title?

A complete list of the golf equipment Sam Burns is using at Royal Birkdale during the 2026 Open Championship.

Burns followed Friday’s record-tying, 8-under 62 with a third-round 65 on Saturday afternoon at Royal Birkdale – the best consecutive 36 holes in major history – to move to 10 under, two shots clear of the field.

He sets major tournament record for lowest 36 consecutive holes after his wife recently gave birth to their second child.

Dominant days from Lucas Herbert, Ryan Fox and Sam Burns at Royal Birkdale place them among the best rounds in major tournament history.

Scottie Scheffler remains in contention at the 154th Open Championship despite facing what analyst Brad Faxon described as one of the toughest groupings during the opening two rounds at Royal Birkdale. The defending Open champion opened with consecutive rounds of 68 to sit four under par through 36 holes before the third round got underway.

OK, there was the odd jibe from the deep galleries — “Watch your step, Bryson” was one of them — but DeChambeau enjoyed overwhelmingly positive support around the parched, sun-kissed links in his third-round 69 that left him four shots off the lead on Saturday. After hitting his tee shot at No. 1 left and onto trampled-down grass near spectators, DeChambeau flicked away a pine cone and remarked that it was a “loose impediment” — sparking some laughter. Every movement and practice swing by DeChambeau was met with a “ooooooh” by fans, clearly a nod to Friday and his heavily scrutinized actions in deep rough at the fifth hole that sparked the rules review.
