“I don’t think there’s any other place that would top it,” said Hovland.

“It’s pretty crazy from where I grew up and so far away from playing the PGA TOUR, DP World Tour, for that matter Major Championships. Just to be here is very special but to have a chance to win one, I have to pinch myself, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to hold back tomorrow.”

Hovland has never yet won a major while a win on Sunday would be McIlroy’s fifth and his second Open title.

“It would mean everything because of what I have been through the last few years, trying to get the fifth one,” said McIlroy.

“I have a lot of belief in myself, I know I can do it again. I just need to go out in my own little world and shoot a good score that I know I can do around here.

“I think it’s appreciating the moment as well and appreciating the fact that it’s unbelievably cool to have a chance to win The Open at St Andrews. It’s what dreams are made of and I’m going to try to make a dream come true tomorrow.”
