Rory McIlroy was firmly on course to lift the Claret Jug for the second time as the 150th Open Championship headed for a tense climax.

Since then he started with a 65 in the US PGA and a 67 in the US Open, but was all too aware of failing to turn those into overdue wins, a third round of 74 doing the damage at Southern Hills and a 73 at the same stage at Brookline proving equally costly. It continued a welcome trend of good starts for the Northern Irishman, whose opening 73 in April’s Masters meant he had been a combined 35 over par in the first round of majors since his last victory in the 2014 US PGA. The 33-year-old admitted this week therefore felt like the title defence he never had and enjoyed an ideal start with an opening 66, the same score he shot to begin his wire-to-wire victory at Hoylake.

British Open 2022 live updates: Our editors at the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews bring you the latest news and analysis from the final round.

At the par-5 fifth, he was in a patch of rough green side, and he couldn't get his chip to stop close to the hole. That's the first bogey of the day for him and the first bogey in his pairing. That'd be a great way to salvage an otherwise disappointing week for the winner of the Genesis Scottish Open and the Travelers in his past two starts. We saw Tiger do the same on Day 1 ... and we have a feeling Perez won't be the only one to rinse his first approach. Among the group at eight under and tied for 12th is Tony Finau, who just made birdie at 18 to shoot a six-under 66. Wow, Trey is DIALED into some deep stats early on Sunday. It's tough not to be dialed for the final round of The Open. Xander remains at 8-under, which is tied for 12th currently. Abraham Ancer and Sadom Kaewkanjana each make birdie at the last to post 65s, putting them in the clubhouse at 11 under. But he just missed a 10 footer for birdie on the easy par-4 ninth holes and he's just put the finishing touches on nine straight two putts, a two putt on the par-5 fifth hole resulting in his lone birdie so far. The Cams Smith and Young both birdied the par-5 fifth hole and are within two shots of the lead. He's still one-shot behind Cam Smith, but if there's a consolation of sorts, it's that Smith's birdie streak ends at 5 after he missed the fairway on 15 and has to settle for a rare two-putt. That makes FIVE straight birdies for Smith, but Rory McIlroy hit a promising drive on the par 5, so he doesn't appear to be withering away just yet. The hype and anticipation in the leadup to the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews has somehow been followed up by a thrilling week.

The third round of The Open Championship has just ended (prize money of 14 million dollars), known more simply as the British Open.

The Turin player scores a superb -6 (seven birdies, one bogey) settling in 18th position with a score of -6. On the par 72 course of the Old Course in St. Andrews (Fife, Scotland), South Korean Si Woo Kim and American Scottie Scheffler are in fifth position with -11. For Hovland and McIlroy there are four shots of the margin on the most immediate rivals.

With a Sunday 64 on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Australia's Cameron Smith won the 150th British Open for his first major title.

The only mistake he made was a poor approach to the 17th green, the Road Hole. You can’t miss it left there, and Smith did – leaving himself virtually no shot. His birdie at the 11th cut the lead to one before McIlroy followed with his birdie at the 10th. He had made five straight and gone a shot ahead of McIlroy. Smith then made birdies at the 12th, 13th and 14th holes – where he two-putted from 80 feet. And I'm going to try to make a dream come true tomorrow.’’ “The ovations coming on the greens, with the big grandstands.

Rory McIlroy and Cam Smith staged a furious battle down the stretch at St. Andrews to close out a remarkable British Open.

Australia's Cameron Smith produces an incredible back-nine birdie blitz to win the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews and claim his first major victory.

I played a very controlled round, I did everything I needed to except for capitalising on the easier holes," McIlroy said. This one's for Aus." You kept me going out there.

Cameron Smith is snapping at the heels of leader Rory McIlroy on the back nine of the Open Championship final round.

Winning the Open is something he dreamed of as a kid,” Field told Australian Golf Digest from just outside the ropes. He edged one ahead with a birdie at the par-5 14th. Smith picked up shots at the second and fifth, before a sensational five straight birdies to start the back side. He drove the fringe and two-putted for birdie to all but seal victory with McIlroy the group behind. Seemed like there was a lot of you guys out there and kept me plugging away. Smith is Australia’s first men’s Major winner since Jason Day claimed the 2015 PGA Championship.

Cameron Smith came through a thrilling final-round tussle with Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young to claim a maiden major title with a dramatic one-shot victory ...

Smith added another from 20 feet at the 13th to pull level with McIlroy, who continued his run of pars, while Young birdied the same par four and Hovland nudged him from close range at the 12th to lift the pair back to within two of the lead. McIlroy had squandered a five-foot birdie chance at the third but moved ahead when Hovland made a three-putt bogey from 70 feet at the next, with the Northern Irishman making a two-putt birdie at the par-five fifth to double his advantage. Young responded to a close-range bogey at the first by making back-to-back birdies from the third to move to 13 under alongside Smith, who had birdied the second, as the final pairing of McIlroy and Hovland opened with three consecutive pars.

Read about how much money Rory McIlroy has earned as a professional golfer and where he ranks in PGA Tour history.

McIlroy is one of the richest golfers of all time if you add up his career earnings, sponsorships, and endorsements. McIlroy could retire tomorrow and still have one of the most impressive resumes in professional golf history. When it’s all said and done, Rory McIlroy will go down as one of the greatest golfers to ever live.

Golf's purists will be hoping that the mercurial McIlroy can win The Open at St Andrews, wiping the smile off the faces of the 'greedy' rebels whose heads ...

I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had.” The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails. High point: Winning the US Open in 2011 by a staggering eight strokes, his first major championship triumph.

Rory McIlroy looks to be back in form with the way he has performed at the Masters and the Open Championship. The Northern Irish star has been playing ...

Moreover, the Saudi-backed LIV Golf is a relevant topic right now that encourages even more money to be invested in golf. Golf has long been a lucrative sport, and this trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Whether it’s his endorsement deals or his earnings on the golf course, McIlroy enjoys a wealthy lifestyle.

Cameron Smith produced a sensational final-round 64 at St Andrews to overtake the overnight leader Rory McIlroy and claim the Open Championship.

With Greg Norman fronting the Saudi Arabian-backed operation, which McIlroy sits in such stark opposition to, there is a joke somewhere about Australians causing grief to the Northern Irishman. Now just may not be the time to tell it. With McIlroy and Viktor Hovland in the final group, it was the Norwegian who blinked first. It’s the way it is.” “If you lose by eight you don’t really care.” The 25-year-old’s curious major year has seen two missed cuts, a tied third and a second. Smith, who won the Players Championship in May, is enjoying the time of his life. The lead was now shared. McIlroy needed to make short work of the par five 14th but could not after failing to reach the green in two. He played with a day-four fearlessness that renders him the worthy champion of such a landmark event. Smith’s 19 under played McIlroy’s 18 under as the former birdied the 14th. Smith’s 20 under par saw off Young by one and a rueful but magnanimous McIlroy by two. The crowd offered an impromptu roar in vain hope of sporting fairytale. It is difficult to state McIlroy did much wrong during round four, save perhaps not capitalise appropriately on opportunity.

Even someone watching golf for the first time in their life on Sunday could have summed up why Rory McIlroy didn't win the 150th British Open.

In fact, McIlroy's final two-putt par on 18 left him in solo third behind Cameron Young, who eagled the hole moments before. And not literally, because, he obviously converted a lot of tap-ins—18 of them, in fact. Maybe during another year, but not one with a record-tying score of 20 under.
