The Final Whistle: Dunne leads the way at the open

GOLF

Paul Dunne still has a share of the lead at the 144th Open Chamionship.

The Greystones man shot an astonishing bogey-free 66 today to go into the final day tied with Jason Day and Louis Oosthuizen on 12-under par.

Tomorrow, Dunne is on the brink of history and can become the first amateur since Bobby Jones in 1930 to win the Open.

Jordan Spieth is lurking just behind at 11-under, while Padraig Harrington is next back, on 10-under.

The Stackstown golfer also avoided a bogey today to card a 65 and said he didn't look at the leaderboard at all.

Earlier, Graeme McDowell carded a third round 70 which leaves him on 2-under for the week.

GAELIC GAMES

Mayo are Connacht football champions for the 5th consecutive year after a demolition job against Sligo at Dr Hyde Park.

Monaghan are Ulster champions after one-point victory over Donegal in Clones.

11 points to 10 is how it finished and that now tees up a round 4B qualifier meeting between Galway and Donegal.
