HIGHLIGHTS-Golf-Day Four at the British Open

Highlights of the final day at the 148th British Open golf championship at Royal Portrush on Sunday (times GMT): 1430 FLEETWOOD LOSES FURTHER GROUND

A wild tee shot on the seventh hole left Tommy Fleetwood in a spot of bother but the Englishman hit back with a fine putt from 15 feet out to settle for par. However, Shane Lowry took full advantage with a birdie to go six shots clear. READ MORE:

Back-to-back birdies in the fourth and fifth holes helped Lowry to regain control with a five-shot lead at the top. Earlier, Lee Westwood shook off a poor start to fire three birdies in the first five holes to go 10-under in third place behind Fleetwood and Lowry.

World number one Brooks Koepka snapped a string of four straight bogeys with a superb eagle on the fifth to get back to seven-under. 1308 LOWRY MAKES NERVOUS START

Overnight leader Lowry began his final round amid increasingly breezy conditions at Royal Portrush, with the temperature around 16 degree Celsius. Irishman Lowry, who carded a course-record eight-under 63 on Saturday to hold a four-stroke lead over Fleetwood, began with a wayward shot that landed in the rough on the left and found the bunker with his second shot, before he recovered for a bogey. His lead is cut to three shots.
