British Open 2021: Louis Oosthuizen leads after 3 rounds at the Open, Collin Morikawa 1 stroke back

Firstpost  

Oosthuizen, a runner-up in the last two majors, was at 12-under 198 and on course to be the first wire-to-wire winner at golf’s oldest championship since Rory McIlroy in 2014. “I will play my heart out tomorrow,” the 2010 Open champion said, “and see if I can lift the claret jug again.” Saturday ended pretty much as it had started, with Oosthuizen, Morikawa and Spieth occupying the top three spots, three shots separating them. Hopefully we can just use that momentum from the first three days and just bring it into the last 18.” Oosthuizen, a runner-up in the last two majors, was at 12-under 198 and on course to be the first wire-to-wire winner at golf’s oldest championship since Rory McIlroy in 2014. The back nine was another story and McIlroy threw an iron to the ground — he called it a “little toss” — during a run of three bogeys in five holes on his way to shooting 69, his first round in the 60s at Royal St. George’s.
