​The fog has begun to lift, and organizers are hoping it clears enough to usher in an action-packed final day at the 2026 Scottish Open. Only eight groups managed to start Round 3 before a weather delay stretched for two and a half hours, and play was then halted again with 11 pairs still on the course. Johnny Keefer made the most dramatic move up the leaderboard on Saturday, firing a 6-under 64 to vault into a tie for third at 11 under, just one stroke behind leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Michael Thorbjornsen, who will complete their third rounds on Sunday. Also within striking distance in the late stages of Round 3 were Jordan Smith, who finished the round in the final group, along with Chris Gotterup, Min Woo Lee, Kevin Roy, and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.
Robert MacIntyre of Scotland remains in contention at 9 under with nine holes remaining in Round 3, while Rory McIlroy is hoping for a reset after a sluggish 3-over start, which dropped him from the lead to a tie for 25th. The plan for the final round is to start as soon as the third round concludes, with players teeing off in threesomes from the No. 1 tee. The earliest possible start time is not before 5:15 a.m. ET.
