Hoylake: A sensational double eagle finish from Rory McIlroy gave him a six-stroke cushion going into the final round of the British Open as he crushed a chasing pack of challengers who tried and failed to hunt him down during a rain-hit third round.


The 25-year-old Irishman, looking to add a third major to his collection and a first on British soil, started the day with a four-stroke lead. This is the biggest lead at the third-round stage of the Open since Tiger Woods at St Andrews in 2000.
