2020 PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa is making his tournament debut at The Open. No pro golfer has ever won two different majors in their first attempts.

Defending Open champion Shane Lowry stands T-12 after a third-round (69) as he attempts to become the first player to successfully defend his title at The Open since Padraig Harrington in 2008.
