Could there be a surprise winner at this year's British Open? At the halfway point, it certainly seemed possible.
JB Holmes and Shane Lowry were tied atop the leaderboard at eight under par entering Saturday's third round, and neither were among the favorites to capture the championship entering the tournament. Among the leaders early in the third round were other surprise contenders such as Tommy Fleetwood, Lee Westwood and more.
Big names such as Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson missed the cut, and it's possible that any golfer near the top of the standings could break out and win the title after Sunday's final round.
