Tee Times for Day 3 of the British Open
Rory McIlroy (-12) enters day three of the 2014 British Open with a four-stroke lead over Dustin Johnson (-8), but he'll be looking over his shoulder all afternoon on Saturday when the two tee off with Francesco Molinari (-6) in the day's latest tee time.
A dozen trios will tee off on the first tee while another dozen start on the 10th, with tee times ranging from 4 a.m. ET to 6:01 a.m. ET (9 a.m. and 11:01 a.m. local time, respectively). Yes, it's a two-tee start due to the threat of inclement weather.
