SANDWICH – Sunday marks exactly 11 years since Louis Oosthuizen’s win at The Open in 2010, his lone PGA TOUR title. Oosthuizen holds the seventh 54-hole lead/co-lead of his PGA TOUR career, fourth in a major and third at The Open (1-for-7 to date).
2020 PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa is making his tournament debut at The Open. No pro golfer has ever won two different majors in their first attempts.

Defending Open champion Shane Lowry stands T-12 after a third-round (69) as he attempts to become the first player to successfully defend his title at The Open since Padraig Harrington in 2008.
