Play was able to resume on Saturday, but with 60mph winds again battering Scotland, it wasn’t long until it was suspended as the frustrations continued.
While that left some hope that we would see more action later in the day, the decision has been taken to abandon play for the remainder of Saturday, with the 167 members of the field preparing to try again on Sunday in what will be the final round.
As things stand, two players share the lead, Team Europe Ryder Cup hero Robert McIntyre and South African Richard Sterne. They are on 12-under, with LIV Golfer Louis Oosthuizen in third, one shot back of the lead.
All three were able to complete their second round on Friday, while only MacIntyre of them had yet to begin his third round, with the other two having completed one hole before Saturday’s play was suspended.
However, per The Scotsman’s Martin Dempster, the third round will start afresh on Sunday. He wrote on X: “The minimal amount of play in 3rd round today has been scrapped in @dunhilllinks. It will now start afresh on Sunday as a two-tee start between 9am and 11.23am at all three courses.

Sterne is looking for his ninth DP World Tour win, although the most recent came over 12 years ago at the 2013 Joburg Open.
As for MacIntyre, he has three wins on the DP World Tour, with his most recent coming at the 2024 edition of the PGA Tour co-sanctioned Genesis Scottish Open, when he beat Adam Scott by one.
