2023 British Open: Round 3 Live Coverage, Rory McIlroy's Score, Latest Golf Scores Today

Brian Harman holds a five-stroke lead at the 2023 Open Championship.

The 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool has reached its third round, and the competition is heating up. Brian Harman has taken a commanding lead at 10 under, but the question remains: can anyone catch up to him? Harman, who hasn't won a PGA Tour event since 2017, is determined to claim the title of Champion Golfer of the Year and raise the prestigious Claret Jug.

Despite his impressive lead, Harman will face a challenge from the Royal Liverpool faithful, who are likely to support his closest competitor, Tommy Fleetwood. Fleetwood, sitting five strokes behind Harman, has earned a spot in the final pairing and hopes to make a strong move on Moving Day.

However, there are other contenders in the mix. Jason Day, with one major title under his belt, remains a threat at 3 under. Americans Jordan Spieth and Cameron Young are just one stroke behind, eager to make their mark in Round 3. On the other hand, Rory McIlroy finds himself nine strokes behind Harman and will need to play flawlessly in the next 36 holes to have a chance at his fifth major title.

There are also a few players within striking distance of Harman. Max Homa, Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland, and Hideki Matsuyama are all within 10 strokes of the leader. However, it's clear that this championship is firmly in Harman's control. How he handles the pressure and maintains his lead remains to be seen, but Saturday at Hoylake will bring us closer to finding out.
