Royal Liverpool is playing easier than it has all week, but we’re still getting several messy shots from the final group. Dustin Johnson went 30 holes without making a bogey, then dropped shots on back-to-back holes after some sloppy play. He has lost his form for the moment.
Rory McIlroy rockets drive into golf cart camera operator, still makes par
The leader at the British Open has avoided the damage from a couple bad drives on the front nine of his third round, including one directly into a golf cart.

Rory McIlroy has sprayed a few as well, but mostly mitigated the damage with some solid recovery work and steady putting, particularly with a world-class save at No. 7. On the 9th, Rory got fortunate again when he bombed a double-cross way off the fairway and directly into a golf cart carrying an ESPN camera.
Rory would take a nice little drop from the cart, however, and catch a perfect lie. He got smoothly up-and-down for what Paul Azinger called a “miracle par.” So far, McIlroy is staying out in front by multiple shots with some great recoveries and a bit of good fortune.
He’s still at 12-under for the tournament, three shots clear of Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia as he hits the back nine.
