Genesis Scottish Open Round 3 Weather Delay and Leaderboard

Fog Halts Play in North Berwick

An early‑morning fog over North Berwick forced the third round to pause at 5:45 a.m. ET. Poor visibility created delays and kept golfers from starting until play resumed at 8:10 a.m. ET. The interruption compressed the schedule for the field heading into the final round.

Leading the Pack After Two Rounds

Rory McIlroy, Tom Kim and Jordan Smith share the lead entering the third round at The Renaissance Club. Matt Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee sit just one stroke behind the top trio, while seven other competitors—including defending champion Chris Gotterup—trail by two strokes. Gotterup captured the John Deere Classic last weekend and is aiming for a rare back‑to‑back Scottish title.

Weekend Tee‑time Outlook

Organizers have indicated the third round likely will not finish on Saturday, pushing the action into Sunday. The final pairing—Tom Kim and Jordan Smith—won’t tee off until 1:15 p.m. ET (6:15 p.m. local). Golf Channel will begin live coverage at 4 p.m., providing full coverage of the concluding stretch.

Looking Ahead

With the leaderboard tightly packed and the Renaissance Club’s tough routing, the final round promises fierce competition. The delayed morning start could shuffle strategies as golfers adjust to the day’s conditions. Fans can expect a compelling conclusion as the title hunt intensifies.
