Open Championship Round 3 tee times: Full Saturday groups and pairings

Following two rounds of play at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, the field has been cut, leaving the remaining 78 golfers to duke it out over the final two days for the chance to raise the Claret Jug.

Australian golfer Lucas Herbert tops the leaderboard after making history Friday, July 17 in Round 2. The 30-year-old recorded nine birdies and carded a score of 8-under 62 in the second round, tying the major record for the lowest round in history. American Sam Burns, who sits in a three-way tie for fifth, also shot a record-tying 62 in the second round.

Herbert will take a two-stroke lead into “Moving Day” on Saturday, July 18, with three Americans tied for second: Jackson Suber, Cameron Young and Ryan Gerard.

The third round of the Open Championship is scheduled to begin at 4:10 a.m. ET (9:10 a.m. local) with Gerard and Young in the penultimate pairing and Herbert and Suber in the final pairing.

Here’s a complete breakdown of the third-round tee times and groups at the 2026 Open Championship, as well as how to watch on Saturday, July 18:
