Matt Fitzpatrick thrives at Rory McIlroy’s expense at fog-affected Scottish Open

Matt Fitzpatrick moved into a share of the lead at 11 under par at the Genesis Scottish Open on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at the Renaissance Club, alongside Michael Thorbjornsen. Rory McIlroy, who had begun the third round in a tie for first at nine under, dropped back to six under after bogeying three of his first seven holes. Fog forced play to be suspended with 22 players still to finish their third rounds, with a restart scheduled for 7am Sunday.
