The two most successful golfers in major history are tied on 12 under par after three rounds of the innovative event, using real archive footage to create a celebratory edition of golf's original major.

Woods lost his overnight advantage by posting a third-round 68 around the Old Course, with Nicklaus going a shot better to set up a dream final-round pairing on Sunday.

A long-range putt from Woods, a runaway winner over the Old Course in 2000 and 2005, and a brilliant pin-high approach from Nicklaus on the par-five 15th were among the standout moments from another entertaining day.

Highlights of the opening two rounds can now be seen on TheOpen.com.

First-round leader Seve Ballesteros lies a shot off the pace in a share of third with Tom Watson and Sir Nick Faldo, who produced a shot-of-the-day contender with a chip-in eagle - through the Valley of Sin - on the final hole.

Jordan Spieth, who needs to win The Open to complete golf's Grand Slam, is two strokes back in tied-fourth with 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen and 1995 winner John Daly, with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els and Zach Johnson also in the field.
