No upswing for McIlroy and Harrington

Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington and lee Westwood were all unable to make any impression on the leaderboard despite excellent conditions in the third round of the Open at Royal Lytham.

Former US Open champion McIlroy and double Open winner Harrington began the day one shot better off than Westwood, but carded rounds of 73 and 70 respectively, with McIlroy managing just one birdie.
