It's a close race at Royal Portrush. Follow along with the third round of the 2025 Open Championship.

Rory McIlroy's third-round charge at the Open Championship was derailed in bizarre fashion when he unwittingly performed a two-ball trick shot at the 11th hole.

John Parry's tee shot at the 192-yard No. 13 landed at the front of the green, took a couple of bounces and hopped straight into the cup for the first hole-in-one at this year's Open Championship.

Earlier this week, we shared the odds for The Open and highlighted the players most likely to contend.

As always, the field was trimmed after Friday’s round.

The cut line came in at +1, right in line with typical Open conditions. Here’s a look at the big names who won’t be teeing it up this weekend at Royal Portrush.

Brooks Koepka (75-74)

Koepka couldn’t get anything going this week. With a trio of bogeys in his final three holes Thursday, the four-time major champion slid further outside the cut line. On Friday, he couldn’t get it going to recover.

Collin Morikawa (75-74)

One of the cleanest ball-strikers in the field looked out of sync all week. He had a 38 on the front nine on Friday and just couldn’t get anything going on the back.

Shane Lowry was assessed a two-stroke penalty following his second round at the Open Championship on Friday after the broadcast video feed appeared to show his ball moving slightly when he took a practice swing in the rough on the 12th hole.

Scottie Scheffler made eight birdies on another wild afternoon of weather at Royal Portrush to build a one-shot lead at the Open Championship heading into the weekend.

Bryson DeChambeau says he is all for the Turnberry course in Scotland -- owned by President Donald Trump -- hosting an Open Championship for the first time since 2009.

Rory McIlroy carded a 2-under 69 in the second round of The Open to give him back-to-back under-par rounds and, most importantly, a tee time on the weekend.

Bryson DeChambeau improved his score by 13 strokes and shot one of the low rounds of the day -- a 6-under 65 -- to jump back up to 1 over and make the cut on the number.

Using alignment tricks is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve accuracy and consistency in golf. Most amateur golfers miss their target not because of a bad swing, but because they aimed incorrectly before even swinging. Here’s a breakdown of alignment techniques:

Why Alignment Matters

• Proper alignment ensures your swing path matches your intended target line.

• Poor alignment leads to compensations in your swing (e.g., slicing or pulling to correct aim).

Key Alignment Tricks

1. The Club-on-the-Ground Drill

• Place a club or alignment stick parallel to your target line on the ground.

• Set your feet along that club to make sure you’re square to the target.

The 2031 Ryder Cup will be held in northeastern Spain, the president of the Catalan golf federation told The Associated Press.

It’s always fun to sneak a peek into a professional’s bag the week of a major championship.

Are they making changes? What’s coming in? What’s coming out?

Most weeks on the PGA Tour, there are minor changes. Maybe a 5-wood gets replaced by a 7-wood or someone experiments with a mini driver in place of a 3-wood or they change the bounce on their wedges.

When the Open Championship is being held at a place like Royal Portrush, those little tweaks start to carry a lot more weight.

One of the biggest questions in the long game setup this week is driving iron or hybrid?

Limited-edition collaborations generally fall into one of three categories: cool, collectible or both. 

Cynics, of course, can say they’re also an overpriced waste of money (as opposed to a value-priced waste of money?) but we’re going to keep it light and upbeat today, my friends.

This new limited-edition collaboration from Sun Mountain and baseball bat giant Marucci is most certainly fun and collectible. It also, however, gives you cynics plenty of ammo to fuel your cynicism.

If you want one, plan on setting aside a couple grand.

Just remember: Light and upbeat. It’s not a social statement or anything. It’s just a golf bag.
