  2. Woods finds the bunker

    Here's Tiger Woods' first mistake. He's found the sand off the tee on the par-three eighth. "Leave it alone wind," he says.

    The good news for Tiger is he has got a pretty good lie.

  3. Birdie for McIlroy

    R McIlroy -4, M Kuchar -4 (9)

    Rory McIlroy closes out the front nine with a long overdue birdie. It takes him back to four under. Still within touching distance, just...

  4. Spieth in trouble

    J Spieth -8, X Schauffele -8 (5)

    Here's Jordan Spieth, having cleared out a section of spectators, and he's going for a wood... this is bold!

    It's right again, that's delved into all sorts of shrubbery and undergrowth. Penny for those thoughts...

    Xander Schauffele sees that, slightly worse lie, and opts to just clip out.

  5. Par for Woods

    T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (7)

    There's no birdie this time for Tiger. A solid par. Meanwhile Jordan Spieth is in trouble...

  6. Woods going for lead?

    T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (6)

    Tiger Woods finds the green with his approach on seven. He has a 25-footer for a tie of the lead...

  7. WinnersBBC Sport

    Recent history would suggest it's the turn of a non-American to win The Open? Not at this rate...

  8. WATCH: Kisner collapses on second hole with double bogey

    Speaking of that double bogey for Kisner...

    Here it is. It saw him fall back from a share of the lead.

  9. Birdie for Kisner

    K Kisner -7, K Chappell -5 (6)

    Kevin Kisner isn't done yet! It feels like a lifetime ago he began his round shared for the lead and has hit a double bogey and a bogey since.

    But now on the sixth he holes a bunker shot for birdie and joins Tiger on seven under, one shot back.

  10. Get Involved

    Neil Leverett: In this wind, you just feel Jordan Spieth has a catastrophic error in him. If he’s going down the 17th with a lead, the Barry Burn will be grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

  11. J Spieth -8 (5)

    "Fore!" Uh oh, Jordan Spieth is in a spot of trouble on the sixth.

    This 580-yard beast has been gettable this week, but not in this wind, and not when you lash your drive right to leave fans ducking for cover...

  12. Tom English
    Chief sports writer, BBC Scotland

    That is Spieth’s first bogey since the 16th on Friday. The only roars we’re getting are blowing across the links from Tiger’s direction.

  13. T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (6)

    Tiger has just 150 yards to the flag. Francesco Molinari is 20 yards behind. The flag flutters head on the green...

  14. T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (6)

    And with those bogeys Tiger Woods is one shot off the lead at the Open.

    He puts his iron shot onto the fairway on the par-four seventh. Woods has not put a foot wrong so far.

  16. Bogeys for Spieth & Schauffele

    J Spieth -8, X Schauffele -8 (5)

    Uh oh, this is an awful lie for Xander Schauffele. He's plugged his approach right into the side of the bunker, and has to straddle the bank with one leg - the bunker camera could be taking the full force of his wedge here!

    Superb from the American, just manages to loft it out and on to the fringes. Is it coming back? Nope. A sigh of relief for Schauffele.

    Long par putt to come from Jordan Spieth, it looks good all the way in, until breaking slightly left and staying up. Spieth drops to his knees "you are kidding me!".

    Schauffele reaches for his putter, this for par... it puts the brakes on several feet too early.

    The lead is cut to one!

  17. Woods gaining momentum

    Peter Scrivener
    BBC Sport at Carnoustie

    He couldn’t, could he? Another birdie for Tiger and a roar that Jordan Spieth will definitely have heard that, an extra strong gust of wind barrelling it back down Hogan’s Alley to the fifth green.

  18. Get Involved

    #bbcgolf or text 81111

    Scott Kelly: Gunning for Tiger Woods. If he pull off a win it will be the greatest sporting comeback of all time without doubt.

  19. Tough scoring...

    Here's a stat which illustrates how tough scoring is out there today: only four players of the top 22 are under par...

    Tiger Woods

    Eddie Pepperell

    Ryan Moore

    Jason Day

  20. Birdie for Kuchar

    R McIlroy -3, M Kuchar -5 (7)

    Rory McIlroy scrambles back to save par at seven, but Matt Kuchar goes one better, rolling in from way out for his second birdie in three holes. Koooooch....
