The third round of the 153rd Open Championship is underway at Royal Portrush Golf Course in Northern Ireland. Scotty Schaeffler led the pack with a 10-under mark over the weekend, with Matt Fitzpatrick one behind and Brian Herman and Haotong Lee two behind. So far, Rory McIlroy has had a strange, unconscious trick shot, and John Parry has gotten his first ace of the event.
