Live updates: Leaders face challenging weather conditions in third round of The Open 2024

At the AIG Women’s Open, key events of the day included Billy Horschel’s impressive shot from a bunker at the par-three 14th, Brooks Koepka’s struggles leading to a birdie-free round, and Matthew Jordan’s scramble at the 17th hole. Dan Brown and Shane Lowry battled for the lead, with Brown eventually taking control by sinking a birdie putt. Lowry struggled with a long par putt and berated spectators for obstruction. Dustin Johnson made a clutch birdie from the fringe at the 14th, while Scottie Scheffler stayed in contention with a long putt at the 11th. The leaderboard remained tight as players battled tough conditions on the back nine at Troon. Brown and Lowry led the pack, with Horschel close behind and Rose, Schauffele, and Johnson also in the mix. The weather added to the challenge, with rain falling and temperatures dropping, leading to an emphasis on consolidation rather than aggressive play. As the tournament headed into the final stretch, the competition remained fierce, with multiple players still in contention for the title.
