    McIlroy -13 (3)

    McIlroy’s approach from the fairway comes up short at the fourth.

    A long birdie putt to come…

    Scott -13 (1)

    Not a good start for Adam Scott. He bogeys the first and immediately drops back into that chasing pack - that's seven players all on -13.

    Scott birdied the first on rounds one and two, as well. Didn't expect that.

    In it goes!

    Is that the putt that sparks a McIlroy charge?

    McIlroy -12 (2)

    Rory McIlroy faces a testing third shot at the third.

    There’s a big slope just in front of the hole that he needs to navigate…

    Played to perfection though! He’s got three feet left for birdie.

    Bob MacIntyre heads to the first tee to a hero's welcome.

    Ludvig Aberg soon follows. A cool, calm and collected pair these two.

    Langasque -13 (8)

    We've got another challenger - Romain Langasque has flown up the leaderboard with four birdies in his last five holes.

    That's going to be a good front nine.

    Fleetwood -9 (3)

    George O'Neill
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Renaissance Club

    A disappointing three-putt for Tommy Fleetwood at the third.

    One of us!

    Rozner -14 (1)

    Perfect start for Antoine Rozner, as the Frenchmen birdies the first. Once again, he leads the way for the Open qualifiers.

    As things stand, Richard Mansell and Alex Noren are joining him at Royal Troon.

    Plenty of golf to be played though.

    Clark -13, Fox -6 (18)

    Martin Watt

    Can Wyndham Clark emulate Richard Mansell by equalling the course record?

    The 2023 US Open champ has a putt on the last for a 61.

    He gives it a good go, but it drifts by and he taps in for par to finish -13 for the week.

    Playing partner Ryan Fox misses a tiddler to end with a bogey and even-par 70 for -6.

    MacIntyre -15, Aberg -17 (15:40 BST)

    Sungjae Im and Sahith Theegala are the next on the first tee. The next group is Collin Morikawa and Adam Scott, before the big one - Bob MacIntyre and Ludvig Aberg.

    The excitement is starting to build here at the Renaissance Club. Could just be the good weather, though.

    Manassero -12, McIlroy -12 (1)

    George O'Neill

    Just to give you a sense of how far Rory McIlroy hits a golf ball, that’s Matteo Manassero in the blue.

    The tiny speck of maroon in the distance is McIlroy.

    Manassero -12, McIlroy -12 (1)

    George O'Neill
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Renaissance Club

    Two tidy two-putts from this pair at the first.

    Matteo Manassero’s tee shot at two is pushed down the right, but McIlroy crushes one down the fairway. “Shot Rors,” shout a Northern Irish group to my left.

    Seeing his driving up close is a joke, just the noise it makes off the face.

    McIlroy -12 (1)

    McIlroy's birdie putt trundles wide at the first. An inauspicious start from the Northern Irishman, as he rolls in for par.

    Further ahead at the sixth, Scotsman Connor Syme has just birdied with a 23-foot putt. That's him down to -10, but it's only his first birdie of the day.

    I’ve been speaking to Nick, a retired physics teacher from Edinburgh who is one of the 600 volunteers here at the Scottish Open.

    He held the scorecard for Bob MacIntyre and Ayr United manager Scott Brown during Wednesday’s Pro-Am.

    He described Bob as “absolutely fantastic” and “very engaging”, taking time to talk with plenty of fans.

    More from Nick later.

  15. McIlroy tees offpublished at 15:01 British Summer Time 14 July

    Here goes Rory McIlroy on the first, just as the sun shies behind a cloud. He puts it slightly right of the fairway, but avoids the bunker.

    He's shot 15 birdies so far. Last year, he shot 22.

    With the low scores shot so far, that is definitely within reach.

    Mansell -13 (18)

    That nine-under 61 from Richard Mansell isn't just good, it equals the course record. Superb stuff.

    Noren -13 (9)

    Alex Noren, Rory McIlroy's playing partner yesterday and the 2016 Scottish Open winner, might just be playing himself into contention.

    He's -5 on the front nine, carding 30 on the way out - just as Bob MacIntyre did yesterday.

    However, yesterday's round of 71 is likely to cost to him.

    McIlroy -12 (14:56 BST)

    Defending champion Rory McIlroy is just having a couple of practice putts before his final round gets under way.

    He's sporting a lovely maroon jumper today. Playing to the Hearts fans in attendance?

    Hojgaard -9 (5)

    A gorgeous tee shot from Rasmus Hojgaard at the sixth, as he sticks it to two feet.

    That will surely be his second birdie of the day.

  20. Magical Mansellpublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 14 July

    Mansell -13 (61)

    Martin Watt
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Renaissance Club

    Blimey, that's some round from Richard Mansell.

    The Englishman drains another birdie on the last - his sixth of the back nine - to post 61, the lowest round of the day so far.

    A fist pump of celebration as he ends on -13.

    Will that be enough for Open qualification? We'll have to wait and see...
