2016 BRITISH OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT
July 17, 2016  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 7:00 a.m. ET

 

Yesterday’s third round was a fabulous round of golf to watch, with so many golfers doing so many inventive things to make it through the tricky Troon course. Today’s final round appears to be a two-man battle between Phil Mickelson, who led for most of the tournament, and Henrik Stenson, who shot an even more impressive round than Michelson yesterday to take a one-stroke lead at the final hole. Stenson starts today at 12 under par, Mickelson at 11 under. Great scores, considering that the next closest competitor, Bill Haas, is five strokes back at 6 under par. And where’s the Beef? Next in line at 5 under par: Andrew Johnston (pictured), with the nickname of “Beef” and a big crowd pleaser this week, has been flashing smiles and strokes of brilliant golf with equal frequency. Tee time for the final two pairs is about 9:30 a.m. ET.
