The 2026 Open Championship heads into the final round with Sam Burns as the leader by two, but with the scoring produced at Royal Birkdale this week, it feels like anything is possible on Sunday with the Claret Jug on the line. Burns (-10) will tee off alongside Ryan Fox (-8) at 9:20 a.m. ET, as two of the three players to match the men’s major championship record with a 62 this week will play together in the final pairing on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The penultimate group will feature Si Woo Kim (-8) and Ryan Gerard (-7) at 9:10 a.m. with Lucas Herbert (-7) and Ludvig \u00c5berg (-6) just ahead at 9 a.m. That means the three final pairings in the final round of the 2026 Open will feature players searching for their first major championship victory, setting the stage for a fascinating battle among players, the course and their nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryson DeChambeau (-6) is the only player in the top 10 with a major title to his name, and the much-discussed American star has been a leading story this week both for his play on the course and the rules controversy that dragged deep into Friday night. He will tee off at 8:50 a.m. alongside Jackson Suber (-6). Hometown hero Tommy Fleetwood (-5) didn’t make the Saturday charge the Southport, England, fans hoped to see, but at five strokes back, he’s still in the hunt and will tee off at 8:40 a.m. with massive galleries trying to will him to the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler (-4) likewise failed to make a big move on Saturday and will need to produce something special from the 7:45 a.m. pairing alongside Jose Luis Ballestar Barrio (-3).\u00a0Check out the complete schedule of Sunday’s final round tee times below\u00a0<\/p>\n
