That allowed the home favourite to survive by the skin of his teeth at the Renaissance Club, where American Chris Gotterup holds a two-stroke lead at 11 under after equalling the course record with a blistering 61. Afternoon all. It's day three of the 2025 Scottish Open, and it is heating up - both literally and figuratively.

The third round of the Genesis Scottish Open is set to begin on Saturday, with Chris Gotterup holding a two-stroke lead heading into the weekend.
