Shane Lowry says he can still win the Open Championship at Royal Troon despite shooting a disappointing third-round six-over-par 77 which left him three behind tournament leader Billy Horschel.

The 2019 champion led by two on seven under after the second round but now finds himself in ninth position on one under going into Sunday’s closing 18 holes.

A birdie at the fourth saw Lowry move to eight under but his troubles started with a double-bogey five on the notoriously difficult Postage Stamp eighth.

As wind and rain enveloped the Scottish course the Irishman then posted five bogeys on the back nine, his final dropped shot coming after he hit his second shot into the grandstand down the right of the 18th.

“Obviously very gutted now but I’ve a job to do tomorrow and I’ve still got a chance to win this tournament,” Lowry told reporters after his round.

“I guess for me the eighth hole was a killer really. Make par there and you can still shoot three or four over from there and still be leading the tournament.

“It was a grind, it wasn’t much fun out there.”
