Rory McIlroy wants to blow away his Renaissance rivals and secure a long-overdue first win at the Home of Golf. The Northern Irish superstar leads the way at the weather-buffeted Genesis Scottish Open going into today’s final round.
McIlroy has never won a tournament in Scotland and is determined to end that lengthy drought. The World No.3 started Saturday early as tournament chiefs hauled play forward to avoid forecast thunderstorms.
McIlroy and his rivals will again go out early this morning with predicted high winds of 40mph forcing another late change in schedule.
Threeballs will now have a two-tee start between 6.45am to 8.57am, but the fans’ favourite will fight to make sure it’s his title challengers who are blown off course as he hunts down a maiden success in Scotland.
