Spieth presents his case at British Open

ST ANDREWS: Paul Dunne has turned the British Open into amateur hour. The 22-year-old Irishman shot a six-under 66 on Sunday and strolled to the clubhouse tied for the lead at St Andrews. Not bad for a guy who doesn’t plan to turn pro until later this summer. Dunne played collegiately at Alabama-Birmingham and had to qualify for his first Open. Now, stunningly, he’ll go to Monday’s final round as one of the leading contenders, after three straight rounds in the 60s left him with a 12-under 204.Louis Oostuizen played with Dunne and also is at 204 after shooting a 67 on Sunday. Jason Day too was at 12-under 204. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth has his sights on the Claret Jug and another step toward the Grand Slam.

Spieth bounced back from a frustrating second round to shoot a six-under 66, putting himself in prime position to compete for his third straight Major Championship.
