The Open 2022: final round updates from St Andrews – live!

Is this the day? Is this the day when Rory McIlroy ends his eight-year wait for a fifth major by joining the pantheon of greats to have won an Open Championship at St Andrews? The main threat to McIlroy’s bid to join Jack, Seve, Sir Nick and Tiger is playing partner Viktor Hovland. The two traded magnificent 66s when in tandem yesterday, those six under rounds pulling them four clear of the stuttering halfway leader Cameron Smith and American rookie Cameron Young. World no 1 Scottie Scheffler lurks five back alongside Si Woo Kim but if McIlroy and Hovland start making birdies, the chasing pack may be too far adrift to catch them. A hugely significant day in the Open’s 150-year history awaits. Thanks for joining us for today’s final round: always one of the great days in sport.
