Scottie Scheffler in command despite double-bogey
A rare misjudgement from runaway Open leader Scottie Scheffler offered a glimmer of hope to the chasing pack but his advantage was still five shots as he entered the back nine at Royal Portrush. Birdies at the first, after a brilliant approach to a foot, the fourth and fifth had opened up a seven-shot gap and his procession to a first Claret Jug looked even more of a formality for the world number one. However, he got too greedy with a fairway bunker shot at the eighth and left the ball in the sand, resulting in a double-bogey six and his first dropped shot in 33 holes. But, typically, he responded with a birdie to get back to 16 under, which was still just about in range of last week's Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup who had turned in a three-under 33. China's Haotong Li, who has been in the top three all week, was also at 11 under having battled his way to a front nine of 35. Rory McIlroy's hoped-for charged failed to materialise over the front nine as he did not get the fast start he had on Saturday, when he carded three birdies in four holes. He turned in 34, at 10 under, but having failed to gain any momentum he needed more unlikely Scheffler mistakes to stand a chance of a dream win in his home Open. However, the errors were coming from him and a mis-hit chip at the 10th cost him a double bogey and with that his chances were over. Matt Fitzpatrick also struggled over the front nine and was only able to advance his score by a shot, and was one ahead of his Ryder Cup team-mate at 10 under alongside American Harris English. Two-time major winner Bryson DeChambeau carded seven birdies in a 64 which propelled him to nine under and into a tie for sixth with Canadian Corey Conners, also in the clubhouse, and former US Open champion Wyndham Clark, who still had five holes to play.

Minnesota's Frankie Capan part of 3M Open's deepest-ever field
The deepest field in the history of the 3M Open has materialized this week. Some players are fighting just to keep their status, and some are riding a career-best run, like Haotong Li and Chris Gotterup. Li's fresh off playing in the final round on Sunday at the Open Championship, while Gotterup won the Genesis Scottish Open and then was third at the Open. "It's been a lot of just, you know, physically and mentally draining," said Gotterup. "Playing good comes with that. I'm happy to be here and excited for the week." At 18th, Maverick McNealy is the highest-ranked player in the field at a tournament where he's played well. "That's the first time I've had that way, but it's just affirmation I think we're on the right track, and my team's having me work on the right things and excited to try to win this golf tournament this week," said McNealy. "I'd love to have a chance late on Sunday. That's what we play for and that's a lot of fun." Tom Hoge grew up winning a bunch of Minnesota tournaments. The Fargo native is in good position to make the FedEx Cup playoffs, but wants more from his game. "Yeah, I would like it to be in a little bit better state," said Hoge, who sits 37th in the FedEx Cup. "It's nice to come back to a place where I'm familiar with. I feel like hopefully that can get things to click a little bit more and get a little more focused and ready to go for a nice push to end the season." And then there's Frankie Capan of North Oaks. The Minnesotan, a rookie on the tour, has struggled and is in danger of losing his card. "I think it's easy. You know, you get in a little bit of a rut and you don't have your best results and you think, you know, the world's ending," Capan said. "But at the same time, just tweak a few things here and there, I think we're on the right track."
