Li shoots his way to stardom

SOUTHPORT, England - Li Haotong crept into unexpected contention at the British Open with the round of his life on Sunday.

It didn't win him the claret jug, but it did earn him a place at the Masters.

The 21-year-old Chinese became the fourth player to shoot 63 in the final round of the British Open, after Jodie Mudd (Royal Birkdale in 1991), Payne Stewart (Royal St. George's in 1993) and Henrik Stenson (Royal Troon in 2016).
