Day 3 at the 2014 Open Championship

Saturday's (or Moving Day) round of the 2014 Open Championship has concluded, and the leader is still Rory McIlroy at 16-under (-16). He shot a 68 today and finished in a spectacular style that included two eagles on the finishing par 5's, all which earned McIlroy a six shot lead over American Rickie Fowler.

McIlroy holds the largest 54 hole lead at an Open Championship since 2000 (by Tiger Woods). With such a drastic lead similar to his one at the 2011 US Open, McIlroy chances of winning are looking very good.

Despite thunderstorm predictions, the weather turned out to be decent. The low round of the day was a 67, shot by fellow Northern Irishman Darren Clarke (Clarke is at T12 at 5-under).

Here is how our picks stand going into the final round:

1) Graeme McDowell: T12 at 5-under (-5)
2) Henrik Stenson: T52 at 2-over (+2)
3) Luke Donald: T45 at 1-over (+1)

McDowell's doing pretty well, having shot a 68 too today. Be sure to check in tomorrow to see who the winner will be,
