The final round of the Genesis Scottish Open has adjusted tee times due to anticipated sea fog. The final round will utilize a two-tee start between 11:30 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. local time (6:30 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. ET). The tournament is held at the Renaissance Club, a scenic course on the Firth of Forth known for its susceptibility to fog.

That allowed the home favourite to survive by the skin of his teeth at the Renaissance Club, where American Chris Gotterup holds a two-stroke lead at 11 under after equalling the course record with a blistering 61. Afternoon all. It's day three of the 2025 Scottish Open, and it is heating up - both literally and figuratively.

Sepp Straka had eight birdies in his round of 64, also joined by Nico Echavarria and Victor Perez atop the leaderboard alongside Knapp.

Both Viktor Hovland and Justin Rose birdied the fifth to keep their solid starts going before walking into the arena-like par-three sixth. It's a short hole, but hitting the green is imperative, and not as easy as it seems. The hole is cut in the back half of the green and off to the left.

European Tour golfer Rikuya Hoshino withdrew during the first round of the Genesis Scottish Open on Thursday due to a neck injury.
