Overnight leader Chris Gotterup's tee shot lips out of a hole-in-one at the sixth hole at the Scottish Open.

Former college star Chris Gotterup had a career day, tying the course record in the second round of the Scottish Open.

Gaining his PGA Tour card in 2023, Chris Gotterup went on to to secure his maiden title at the Myrtle Beach Classic a year later. On the bag then was AJ Montecinos, but since that victory he has made a change, now employing Brady Stockton as his caddie.

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.

The third round of the Genesis Scottish Open is set to begin on Saturday, with Chris Gotterup holding a two-stroke lead heading into the weekend.
