TROON, Scotland — You like your British Open wet and wild? Well, you got it on Saturday afternoon at Royal Troon, where a steady rain created a waterlogged leaderboard at Royal Troon. By day’s end, PGA Tour veteran Billy Horschel—clad in a backward hat—emerged with the lead after a two-under 69 lifted him to four under for the championship, the first time the 37-year-old has led after any round of a major in his career. But there are 13 players within five shots of Horschel with 18 holes left to decide the Champion Golfer of the Year, creating a Sunday where any number of storylines could play out.
