This leaderboard is stacked especially for a Saturday.   Great stuff.

Typically in the top 12 in a British Open the leaderboard at this point (middle round Saturday)  would have at least half the field with middleweights or relative unknowns.    I suppose it would be nice to have one or two bigger dogs hanging around like a Paul Dunne or a Jordan Niebrugge... see below..

The British Open is by far the most random of the majors since 2000.  I have attached the 2015 British Open final standings at St. Andrews.

Zach Johnson was 25th entering the week.
Marc Leishman was 58th entering the week.

In 2015, PAUL DUNNE, was in a three way tie for lead at the British Open after Saturday... tied with Day and Oosthuizen.   Dunne was an amateur (or just turned pro)... it was his second pro event and he was ranked 1548th in the world... tied with me and you with 0.00 world ranking points.      Dunne's career never really anywhere after that... did get as high as 65 in the world in 2018, but quickly fell apart after that and is now ranked 1200th in the world.

I believe Jordan Niebrugge got within one shot of the lead early in the final round (could be wrong on that).   He finished 6th.    He was a an amateur who was ranked 1300th in the world before the Open -- after the open he got to 389th...    A spot he has never reached again.   He has now ranked 1744th in the world and tied with me with 0.00 ranking points -
