A thrilling 2026 golf season has reached the final day of its final major with The Open Championship continuing its 154th playing into Sunday at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. The oldest golf tournament in the world returned to Birkdale for the first time in nine years with the Claret Jug set to be awarded on site for the 11th time.
Follow Round 4 with 2026 Open Championship leaderboard live coverage, including analysis and highlights all day Sunday through the awarding of the Champion Golfer of the Year title at the end of the tournament.
Sam Burns took a two-shot lead after 54 holes as the top 10 of The Open leaderboard was comprised almost entirely of golfers without a major championship to their name entering Sunday. The lone exception was Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open winner who has -- for better and worse -- been the story of the tournament to this point. DeChambeau was assessed a two-stroke penalty on Friday that made headlines, in part because of an initial reluctance to play the weekend at Royal Birkdale.
DeChambeau ultimately decided to play, though he was unable to make a notable trek up the leaderboard on Moving Day. Instead, it was Burns who turned in the lowest consecutive rounds in men's major championship history, scoring a 127 from Rounds 2-3. There have already been three 62s, matching the lowest single-round score in men's major history, proving that Royal Birkdale is gettable and that nearly anyone can surge in the final round.
While we don't know how the final round will play out, what we do know is that Sunday is sure to deliver plenty of drama, one way or another. A new champion could emerge, or a familiar face could add another piece to his resume. Everyone still in the field is not only competing to raise the Claret Jug and be named Champion Golfer of the Year, but they also want a slice of Open prize money from the $17.5 million purse.
While attending The Open Championship is undoubtedly a memorable experience, simply watching golf on one of the game's grandest stages each year is an incredible treat.
