SOUTHPORT, England, July 18 : New Zealand’s Ryan Fox carded the third 62 in little more than 24 hours at the British Open to hit the top of the leaderboard at a sunny Royal Birkdale on Saturday.
Fox carded nine birdies and only one bogey in his eight-under third round, coming up short with a putt at the 18th that would have given him a men’s major record round of 61.
He was in the clubhouse on eight under with Americans Sam Burns and Jackson Suber also on eight under early in their rounds as the sea breezes began to strengthen.
• Fox’s 62 gives him a share of the lead as third round continues.
