2015 British Open live stream: How to watch Sunday’s round online

Weather has been the big winner thus far at the 2015 British Open, with two delays lasting a total of more than 13 hours forcing major changes to the schedule. The final round was supposed to start early Sunday morning, but will instead be pushed back a day. Barring more weather delays, the entire third round will be played on Sunday, setting up a Monday finish at St. Andrews.

Rain wasn’t an issue on Saturday like it was on Friday, but the wind made the course unplayable. They tried to resume the second round at 7 a.m. local time, but players were on the course for less than a hour before officials stopped play again. The wind was so bad, balls were being blown around the green, making it almost impossible to putt. Many players were upset play even started in the first place. Eventually, the wind calmed enough to get players back out on the course, and they were able to complete the second round.

Early in the delay, officials announced the decision to push the entire third round to Sunday. That meant that a number of players who managed to get in their second rounds on Friday didn’t play a single shot on Saturday. Whether a day of rest helps them remains to be seen. That includes Danny Willett who is 9-under and one shot off the lead. He will play in the final pairing on Sunday, joined by Dustin Johnson. Johnson managed a 69 in the second round to take the 36-hole lead at 10-under. He’s faltered down the stretch of major championships before — including at the U.S. Open — but has played steady, solid golf thus far. He’s the betting favorite heading into the final two rounds, though he will face stiff competition.

A total of nine players are 7-under or better through 36 holes while 20 are at least 5-under. There are some notable names in that group too, including Jason Day (7-under), Zach Johnson (7-under), Adam Scott (7-under), Louis Oosthuizen (7-under), Justin Rose (5-under), Sergio Garcia (5-under) and Jordan Spieth (5-under).

Spieth is attempting to become just the second player in history to win the first three majors of the season. If he’s going to pull that off, however, he will need to make up some ground. He shot an even-par round of 72 in the second round and lost three strokes to Johnson. Spieth has played well enough to be in contention, but hasn’t capitalized on the greens the way he needs to. His 11 birdies are tied for the second-most of any player in the field. If he’s able to avoid some three-putts and dropped shots, he could certainly make a big run up the leaderboard.

It may be the third round on a Sunday, but ESPN will still provide extensive television and online coverage. The TV broadcast will begin at 7 a.m. ET and run until the end of the round. There will be multiple streams to follow the action, including a simulcast of the ESPN TV coverage. There will also be a Spanish feed and the International BBC stream. Viewers can watch additional coverage via featured group and featured hole streams.

Here is a complete look at the coverage for Sunday. All times Eastern.
