Ludvig Åberg heads into the final round of the 2024 Scottish Open with a two-shot lead at 17 under par. Having been down by as much as two shots on Moving Day, the young Swede finished with a bang with three birdies over his last six holes to turn that two-shot deficit into a two-shot advantage.
His advantage lies with Ryder Cup teammate and Scottish player Robert MacIntyre. Firmly in the hunt for the national Open for the second year running, the left-hander will be hoping to redeem himself from last year’s tournament, where an in-form Rory McIlroy birdied his final two holes to edge the Scot by one point.
McIlroy remains in contention at 12 under par, but will need a round to remember to catch Åberg. Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala are a stroke ahead of McIlroy at 13 under par and both are looking for their first win of 2024. Adam Scott, Sungjae Im and Antoine Rozner will also enter the final round in the conversation, aiming to enter the winner’s circle with the last putt on Sunday.
