A monster drive, a number of chip-ins and a near-ace all feature in the top shots from the third round of The Open at Royal Troon.

Leaderboard

The 145th Open

Phil Mickelson lost his overnight advantage as Henrik Stenson moved in to a narrow one-shot lead, but the 2013 champion features after a ridiculous chip from the thick gorse to leave a birdie-three.

Stenson produced a bogey-free back-nine to move into pole position at the top of the leaderboard, with his lengthy par-save at the 10th kick-starting that run.

How Stenson edged ahead at Royal Troon

The pair's closest challenge comes from Bill Haas, who produced a moment of magic after missing the green at the Postage Stamp.

Andrew 'Beef' Johnston's completes the penultimate group out on Sunday, after an impressive chip-in helped him to a one-under 70.
