Scottish Open Leaderboard And Live Report: Aberg Starts Two Ahead

PARS FOR THE FINAL GROUP ON THE 4TH AS SCOTT MOVES TO -15

It’s all happening out there:

Adam Scott birdied the drivable Par 4 5th hole after driving the green and missing his 15ft eagle putt by inches.

Both Aberg and Macintyre make stress-free pars on the 4th, with Aberg’s 15ft birdie putt sliding over the left edge. 

Morikawa drove to the front edge of the 5th green, but couldn’t two-putt for his birdie and remains at -15. 

McIlroy missed the chance to bounce back after bogeying the 7th hole, missing a 12ft birdie putt on the 8th green before missing the green on the Par 3 9th hole.

ABERG RECOVERS AFTER ANOTHER MISSED FAIRWAY

From the light rough but a bit of a tricky lie, Ludvig hits his approach pin-high from just over 100 yards which will leave him a 15ft putt for birdie. 

MacIntyre disappoints from the centre of the fairway, hitting a wedge from 95 yards to around 30ft, much to his frustration. 

FLEETWOOD SHOWS OFF HIS ENGLAND SHIRT IN SCOTLAND

Is there a football game on tonight? I’m Irish, so I’m not sure myself.

Maybe England are playing seeing as Tommy Fleetwood arrived for his Sunday round rocking a Three Lions shirt? 

Who knows.

ABERG LEAD CUT FROM THREE TO ONE AFTER MORIKAWA BIRDIE 

Back-to-back birdies for Collin Morikawa has inserted himself right in the race for this title as he jars another birdie putt on the 4th hole to jump to -15, just one back from Aberg after his bogey on the 4th.

Up ahead, McIlroy gives one back after a poor bogey on the 7th – he missed the green to the left with his approach and played a poor chip shot to 20ft, with his attempt for par rolling by the hole. He drops to -13, three back from Aberg. 

ABERG BOGEYS THE 3RD AS MACINTYRE MISSES SHORT BIRDIE PUTT

Aberg pays the price for his wayward drive as he fails to scramble from the front of the green for his par – he drops to -16.

MacIntyre misses the chance for a two-shot swing, missing a 10ft birdie putt to remain at -14 through three holes.

AARON RAI POSTS -14 AFTER A PAR ON THE 18TH

It was a tentative effort from Rai for his birdie, but he cleans up from 3ft for his par to card -14 for the week.

That should be enough to qualify him for next week’s Open Championship as one of the top three unqualified players – but we’ll keep an eye on this as the day goes along.
