The final group at the Open Championship on Sunday will feature two men who tied the lowest round ever in a major championship earlier this week at Royal Birkdale.<\/p>\n

Sam Burns will take a two-stroke lead into the final round, thanks in large part to his 8-under 62 on Friday. Ryan Fox will go alongside Burns at 9:20 a.m. ET (2:20 p.m. local) after producing a brilliant 62 of his own Saturday. The pairing makes for a rematch of the 2025 Canadian Open playoff, which saw Fox prevail over Burns on the fourth hole.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gerard and Si Woo Kim form the penultimate group, while other big names such as Ludvig Aberg, Bryson DeChambeau, Tommy Fleetwood, and Xander Schauffele fall among the last six groups.<\/p>\n
