MacIntyre carded a third round of 63 at the Renaissance Club to trail Ryder Cup team-mate Ludvig Aberg by two shots.
A year after being denied by Rory McIlroy’s last-gasp heroics, Robert MacIntyre has another chance to claim the title he craves most in the £7million Genesis Scottish Open.
Even a three-putt bogey on the 18th could not take the shine off MacIntyre’s day, the left-hander also carding an eagle and seven birdies to surge through the field in front of a partisan home crowd. “I’ve not been shy in saying it, the Scottish Open is the one that I want. That’s my end goal, I’ve said it from the start of the week. The Scottish Open on a resume for my whole career is what I want.“I’ve just got to go and play golf and let it happen. I can’t force it, there’s so many good players in the tournament chasing me down. I can only control me and I’ve controlled myself very well so far.
“So the last four holes I’ve probably played them the worst that I could, which is unfortunate because I felt like I could have been right up there, sort of at 15-under around the lead, and to give one away at the last is disappointing. “But I would love to go into next week after getting myself right into the thick of things tomorrow.”
