DP World Tour 2022, Genesis Scottish Open, The Renaissance Club, Scotland: 7-10 July
Day Three: Xander Schauffele leads into final; Jordan Spieth cards two eagles, in contention
From DP World Tour News:
Xander Schauffele will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open after carding a brilliant 66 on day three at The Renaissance Club.
The American started the day four shots off the lead but three birdies put him in share and when he picked up another three gains in four holes from the 13th, he led by four.
A bogey-bogey finish took some of the gloss off his round but Schauffele will head into day four at seven under as he looks for a first Rolex Series win. Read more
From ESPN, by AP:
NORTH BERWICK, Scotland -- Xander Schauffele played all the right bounces and made all the key putts until the final two holes Saturday in the Scottish Open and then felt as though he had to settle for a two-shot lead.
Right when he was starting to pull away from the field, Schauffele closed with a pair of bogeys at The Renaissance Club that made it difficult to appreciate an otherwise stellar round. He matched the low score of the windy day with a 4-under 66.
And then he headed straight to the range. Read more

From Yahoo!Sports/ USA Today, by Cameron Jourdan:
Jordan Spieth is having a week at the Genesis Scottish Open.
On Friday, it was he and caddie Michael Greller going back and forth over a club, and Spieth eventually throwing a shot to 10 feet.
Saturday, it was more of his patented Spieth magic.
Standing in the middle of the 15th fairway, Spieth pulled out a wedge and fired a shot to a pin at the back of the green. His ball took a huge bounce forward before spinning sideways and tumbling into the cup for an eagle. Read more
