The final round of The Senior Open is set for a tight finish, with K.J. Choi leading at eight-under-par, just one shot clear of Australian, Richard Green, who is seven-under.
Carnoustie is known to be a tough test and, over the final stretch, it's clear that drama will likely unfold, especially as Choi double-bogeyed the 15th and 16th on Saturday to see his big advantage extinguished.

Having won on the Korean Tour in 2024, at the age of 54, Choi hasn't claimed victory on the Senior circuit since 2021 and, with a one shot lead, it's not going to be easy for him on Sunday, especially with the calibre of players chasing the South Korean down.
Amongst the pack is Green (-7), who actually held the course record at Carnoustie for a number of years, as well as Arjun Atwal (-6), Paul Broadhurst (-4), Angel Cabrera (-3), Padraig Harrington (-2) and Stephen Ames (-2).
On Sunday, the leaders will head out at 1.35pm local time (BST), with a number of notable pairs ready to tackle the links for the final day. Check out the full tee times below.
