Left handed Brian Harman is the man who stands alone at the top of the leaderboard after shooting his second 67 of the tournament, he looked comfortable out on course and it will be interesting to see how he copes being in the final group on Sunday.

What we can almost guarantee is that there will be a new Major winner crowned on Sunday evening, the nearest players to have won a Major to the leaders is Louis Oosthuizen and Sergio Garcia and they are eight shots back.

England could well be cheering on a champion on Sunday evening, Tommy Fleetwood showed no fear on Saturday shooting a wonderful round of 68 and the man from Southport will be off in the penultimate group this evening.
