Scottish Open: Robert MacIntyre heads challenge to Ludvig Aberg
Home favourite Robert MacIntyre played "absolutely brilliantly" on day three to bolster his hopes of delivering the Scottish Open title he agonisingly missed out on last year.
Defending champion McIlroy was again left to rue missed chances, signing for a 67 that leaves him five adrift of Aberg at the rain-lashed Renaissance Club. MacIntyre added four birdies on the back nine and despite dropped shots on 12 and 18 - where he three-putted from the edge of the green - he carded the lowest round of the day.
"Not the most stress-free golf but it was again a good score - I'm pleased with the way I hung in there and finished it out," said the Swede.
