Entering the third day of The Open championship, seven golfers were separated by only two strokes atop the leaderboard. So, the battle for the title was wide open at the halfway point of the tournament.
Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all missed the cut, and several other top names weren't in contention at the British Open. However, the final two days of the tourney were set up to be quite interesting.
Former majors champions Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth were each five under par, three strokes back of the lead, entering Saturday, so both were within striking distance and capable of moving up the standings.
