Good Afternoon, this is Matt from GolfMagic and I am here to take you through the action of the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.
Cameron Tringale held a three-shot lead on Saturday and he is looking to win his first event on the PGA Tour/DP World Tour, having earned nearly $17 million since 2010.
His closest pursuers were Doug Ghim and former US Open champion Gary Woodland, but now Ryan Palmer, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Xander Schauffele are very much in the mix as Tringale's lead has diminished.
US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and Travelers Championship winner Xander Schuaffele began four shots behind on 3-under after respective Friday scores of 66 and 65.
In the early stages of today's round, Jordan Spieth and Max Homa moved into the red on what could be an exciting day in East Lothian.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland all missed the cut as well as Will Zalatoris, Hideki Matsuyama and Robert MacIntyre.
Here is the leaderboard at the end of the third day of the Genesis Scottish Open...
-7 X Schauffele
-5 R Cabrera Bello
-4 J Spieth, R Palmer, J Smith
-3 A Smalley, M Fitzpatrick, C Tringale
-2 M Homa, A Bjork, B Grace, J Kim, J Niemann, R Hojgaard, K Kitayama, G Woodland
-1 T Fleetwood, P Cantlay, T Detry, R Fowler
