That saw runner-up Phil Mickelson finish 11 strokes ahead of JB Holmes in third place.
The weather in the UK has been stunning in the build up so the course at Carnoustie is playing firm and fast with dry, wispy rough.
Open Championship Weather Forecast 2018
Sunday
The windiest day of the championship should mean the final day of the Championship looks sunny with temperatures of 22 celsius but, crucially, winds will be up there with the strongest of the week. Gusts are currently forecast to reach 25mph and will once again be from the SW. Should be still in the morning so look for fast starters.
