Final round of the The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport Sunday looks mostly dry, but there is a chance of a few isolated storms and some breezy conditions.

SUNDAY — FINAL ROUND WEATHER FORECAST

Skies will clear by midday in Southport with some sunshine over The Royal Birkdale Golf Club. Winds will be out of the west-northwest between 10 to 20 mph. There could be occasional gusts reaching near 25 mph. As the day warms into the low 60s, that could develop a few isolated showers or thunderstorms. This could be an issue for the leaders as they come to the final holes.

Jordan Spieth and Matt Kuchar will play in the final pairing, teeing off at 2:30 p.m. local in England and 9:30 a.m. ET in the United States. Without weather interruption, expect the championship to finish by 2 p.m. ET. NBC will have the conclusion of the final round.
