Local favourite Tommy Fleetwood is five shots behind Open leader Sam Burns after two late bogeys threaten to crush his Birkdale dreams.

Tommy Fleetwood is aiming to become the first Englishman to win an Open Championship in England since Tony Jacklin in 1969 -10 S Burns (US); -8 R Fox (NZ), SW Kim (Kor); -7 R Gerard (US), L Herbert (Aus) Selected: -6 B DeChambeau (US), L Aberg (Swe); -5 T Fleetwood (Eng); -4 D Brown (Eng), S Lowry (Ire), S Scheffler (US), J Rahm (Spa); -3 R MacIntyre (Sco); -2 R McIlroy (NI), M Wallace (Eng), J Smith (Eng) The sides of the shuttle buses ferrying Open fans to Royal Birkdale are plastered with a picture of Tommy Fleetwood holding the Claret Jug. It is also a representation of the vision which has been in Fleetwood's mind ever since he was a small Southport kid, who occasionally used to sneak over the fence at the iconic course. The reality is the 35-year-old Englishman has never got his mitts on the Open trophy. He still might finally do that on Sunday, but his hopes were set back on Saturday by a couple of late bogeys in a third-round 69. Fleetwood is five shots adrift of American Sam Burns, who carded a five-under 65 and holds a two-shot advantage over New Zealand's Ryan Fox and South Korea's Kim Si-woo going into the final round.
