DP/PGA Tour : Genesis Scottish Open Leaderboard
Heading into Sunday at this version of the Scottish Open on an American owned pseudo Links course on land adjacent to Muirfield called the Renaissance, where like its cousin at the Honorable Company needs wind.
Very little this week here is the europentour.com story
Ludvig Åberg will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Genesis Scottish Open but Robert MacIntyre will be breathing down his neck in search of an emotional home win.
Åberg started the day with a one-shot advantage at The Renaissance Club but trailed MacIntyre by two on the back nine as the Scot carded a 63 to delight the local fans and catapult himself up the leaderboard.
The Swede then birdied the 16th and 17th, however, to sign for a 65 and get to 17 under as he searches for a first Rolex Series victory.
Australian Adam Scott carded a 64 alongside MacIntyre to sit at 14 under, a shot clear of American duo Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala, South Korea's Sungjae Im and Frenchman Antoine Rozner all at -13
The home fans will be rooting for MacIntyre after he was denied victory last year by a birdie-birdie finish capped by a stunning second into the last from Rory McIlroy but Ryder Cup team-mate Åberg has looked unlikely to stumble in rounds of 64-64-65 so far.
He missed the cut at this event 12 months ago in just his fifth professional start but arrived in East Lothian this year as a DP World Tour, PGA TOUR and Ryder Cup winner and fourth on the Official World Golf Ranking.
A Rolex Series victory would be another milestone in his remarkable rise and he is relishing facing the pressure of a vociferous home crowd and a world-class chasing pack.
"It will be fun," he said. "Looks like I'm playing with Bob as well, so it will be a cool pairing and looking forward to it.
"It's fun to have an opportunity to win a golf tournament, especially at a classic place here in Scotland.
