Here's a look at how McIlroy scored in the third round of The Open Championship: McIlroy shot a 5-under 66 in the third round of The Open Championship on Saturday, July 19. Following an opening-round score of 1-under 70 and 2-under 69 in round two. He is now tied for fourth at 8 under par through three days of competition.

Rory McIlroy, 6-under at the time, was doing his best to chase down Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick and hit his approach shot on number 11.

Rory McIlroy's third-round charge at the Open Championship was derailed in bizarre fashion when he unwittingly performed a two-ball trick shot at the 11th hole.
