- McIlroy in the driving seat despite one shot lead
- Kim, Fleetwood and Harman all within touching distance
Rory McIlroy said a first victory in Scotland was long overdue as he took a slender lead into the final day of the Scottish Open. A third round of 67 ensured the halfway leader remained the man to catch at the Renaissance Club on 13 under par, with South Korea’s Tom Kim a shot behind and Tommy Fleetwood and Brian Harman another stroke back.
The world No 1, Scottie Scheffler, and the former Open champion Shane Lowry are part of a five-way tie for fifth on 10 under, with tee times brought forward several hours on Sunday due to the forecast for winds gusting up to 40mph.
