The third round of the 2026 Open will be must-see TV as Moving Day of the final major championship of the season takes center stage at Royal Birkdale. With an inexperienced final pairing of Lucas Herbert and Jackson Suber set to start their third rounds at 10:50 a.m. ET, eyes and interest will drift elsewhere as competitors begin to trickle onto the golf course.

Follow Moving Day coverage all day Saturday as CBS Sports offers 2026 Open Championship leaderboard live updates with ongoing analysis and highlights throughout Round 3.

The biggest question heading into Saturday is whether Bryson DeChambeau’s claims of potentially not playing come to fruition. The two-time U.S. Open champion is scheduled to begin his third round alongside Sam Burns at 10:30 a.m. DeChambeau was in line to play in the final group before he was assessed a two-stroke penalty Friday evening for improving his lie and swing path on the par-4 5th in Round 2.

He will start a bit earlier than expected, as will Rory McIlroy, who did not enjoy the sharpest first round. McIlroy clawed his way back into red figures on Friday and will start Saturday at 7:20 a.m. with Jacob Bridgeman. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will begin Round 3 at 9:45 a.m. with 2018 champion Francesco Molinari just 10 minutes after Jon Rahm and Southport’s own Tommy Fleetwood kick off their days.
