Brian Harman holds firm at the Open as Young and Rahm lead chasing pack

  • American recovers from poor start to maintain five-shot lead
  • Spaniard races up leaderboard with 63 but McIlroy well back

Jon rampaged. It looked as if this could be Jason’s day. By the end of it, Brian Harman stood firm and proud atop the Open Championship leaderboard. The hunter from Georgia, not content with slaying Royal Liverpool Golf Club, wants to take out some of the biggest names in this sport. With the Hoylake venue rendered defenceless by weather conditions, star attractions arrived to swing at the surprise leader.

Harman, after a brief wobble, regained his composure. The Open is his to lose, from a position of five shots clear. At the final hole of round three, he offered momentary hope to others by sitting wide of the green in three. Harman duly chipped and putted for a par five. Rounds of 67, 65 and 69 equal 12 under par.

Finborough theatre, London A mix of sweet observations about female friendship and cheeky brazenness about sex, Kat Rose-Martin’s play finds two young women at a crossroads in their lives In the cold air outside a sticky nightclub in Bradford, 17-year-olds Stacey and Jen are at a crossroads. In one direction lies the world they know: the family stress, the looming exams, the pumping pop beats at the club where they’ll reliably pull boys from school. In the other direction lies an uncertain path, and questions of who they are apart from one another, whether they could be the first in their families to go to university, and how to afford it if they do. Constantly on their minds, while they’re drunkenly dancing the nights away, is where they’ll end up, and what to do if they are the ones left behind. Thoughtful if not revelatory, £1 Thursdays covers an uneasy period of big decisions in these characters’ lives, as the gap between them widens. Monique Ashe-Palmer (Six) is ebullient as St
