British Open Round 3 Tee Times: Brian Harman holds 5-shot lead at midway point at Royal Liverpool
It’s Moving Day at the British Open, but it’s going to take a lot of movement to catch up to Brian Harman.
Harman flew ahead of the rest of the field with a 6-under 65 on Friday. That gave him a five-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood and the rest of the field at the midway point of the final major championship of the year.
Harman has just two PGA Tour wins to his name, though his last win came in 2017. He entered this week ranked No. 26 in the Official World Golf Rankings, and he’s made three straight starts where he’s finished T12 or better. He finished in second at the Travelers Championship last month, too.
"When I held the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open [in 2017], I just probably thought about it too much," Harman said. "Just didn't focus on getting sleep and eating right. So that would be my focus this weekend."
Fleetwood is alone in second at 5-under on the week after he went even par in his second round. Sepp Straka is alone in third at 4-under, and Jason Day, Shubhankar Sharma and Min Woo Lee are tied in fourth at 3-under.
Rory McIlroy went 1-under on Friday, which brought him to 1-under on the week and into a tie for 11th at the midway point. Max Homa and Stewart Cink are among the group with him. Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler and Patrick Cantlay made the cut on the number.
Round 3 will resume on Saturday morning at 3:55 am ET.
