McIlroy -9 (12)

A magnificent up-and-down from Rory McIlroy at the 12th means he saves his par.
Lovely touch.
Bogey finish for Clarkpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time
Scheffler -6 (69), Clark -9 (66)

He can't put it away. Frustrating finish for Wyndham Clark as he drops a shot.
His round began and ended with bogey but there was plenty of good stuff in between.
The American posts a four-under 66 to head into the final day on nine under.
Sscottie Scheffler was nowhere near his best today and cards 69.

And he does, with the minimum of fuss. Exemplary stuff, big fella.

Gotterup -12 (8)

This the is sight Chris Gotterup will see as he does his business on the ninth green. Might the sight of himself at the top of the list cause a quiver?
He needs to get up and down from behind the green for par…

Wyndham Clark has a 12-footer for par on the last...
Aberg into solo secondpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time
Aberg -11 (10)

Ludvig Aberg has a steely determination to him as he taps in for birdie on the 10th green.
He's just one back of Chris Gotterup now.

Gotterup -12 (8)
Richard Winton
BBC Scotland at The Renaissance Club

He might not have drawn the big galleries of his more feted rivals, but Chris Gotterup is playing some thoroughly acceptable golf here.
Perfect drive on eight, measured chip, and an accomplished two-putt add up to another par. The young American isn’t going away.

Scheffler -6, Clark -10 (17)

With a cavernous bunker protecting the front-left pin, it's no surprise the par-three 17th is playing as the second toughest hole round this track.
Wyndham Clark plays it safe with his tee shot and comfortably posts par.
Scottie Scheffler gets up and down nicely from a tricky spot to also avoid a slip-up.
Can either of this pair eke out one more birdie?
Postpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time
McIlroy -9 (10)

Rory McIlroy hooks his approach shot at the 11th, but gets a fortuitous bounce and will have a good look at birdie...
A decent effort, but it stays high and McIlroy will have to make do with par.

Not a bad haul so far for young fans Harris, left, and Lucas.
Harris has the bragging rights after Wyndham Clark handed him a ball.
The way the American is playing, could it be a memento of a title triumph come tomorrow night?

The haar has long since burnt off and the breeze has died down. It’s a clammy afternoon now as the leaders go about their work.

Birdie for McIlroypublished at 17:27 British Summer Time
McIlroy -9 (10)

Rory McIlroy displays his power game in full at the 10th, finding the fairway off the tee and then smashing a fairway wood onto the green from 270 yards out.
He throws his head back in frustration as the eagle putt stays out, but it's an easy birdie to take him to nine under.
Postpublished at 17:25 British Summer Time
Aberg -10 (9)

And Ludvig Aberg does indeed bounce back.
A nerveless putt is always in the heart of the hole. Some momentum for the Swede as he makes the turn.
Postpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time
Gutterup -12 (7)
Richard Winton
BBC Scotland at The Renaissance Club

Chris Gotterup fizzed his blind approach right of the green, then chipped on to eight feet or so. And he makes the putt to stay two clear.
The American is showing no sign of getting frazzled in the East Lothian sun.
Birdie for Schefflerpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time
Scheffler -6, Clark -10 (16)
Martin Watt
BBC Sport Scotland at the Renaissance Club

Wyndham Clark and his caddie have a lengthy chat about how to tackle the third shot into the par-five 16th.
The American is short-sided right and opts to take his medicine with a low dunt to about 30 feet before settling for par.
Scottie Scheffler is on the dancefloor on two and picks up a second birdie of the day
Postpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time
Aberg -9 (8)

A disappointing bogey at the eighth for Ludvig Aberg after he found a fairway bunker, but he has a chance to bounce back immediately at the ninth as his tee shot lands right by the hole.
Knapp timepublished at 17:18 British Summer Time
Knapp -10 (10)

Jake Knapp joins the chasing pack at 10 under.
The American plays a lovely third shot into the par five and drains the 12ft putt.
He's enjoying himself in the East Lothian sunshine.

Gotterup -12 (6)
Richard Winton
BBC Scotland at The Renaissance Club

Blind second shot here for the leader. He’s pondering whether to lash it over a TV tower and hope for the best…

An old boy on a buggy has just barely flinched as an errant shot from the seventh tee clattered off his cart.
Meanwhile, all around him, people just off the eighth fairway - including Matti Schmid - were diving for cover as the German player yelped ‘fore!’
Turns out it was leader Chris Gotterup’s rogue clatter…
Postpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time
Gotterup -12 (6)

Oh so nearly an ace for Chris Gotterup at the sixth!
His tee shot lands short of the hole and looks in for all money, but lips out to a couple of feet.
He taps it in to go two clear at the top.
