PGA Tour Sends Message on Rory McIlroy at Scottish Open This Weekend originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Scottish Open is heading into its final round this Sunday, and all eyes are on Rory McIlroy. The tournament, being held at the Renaissance Club, has shaped up for a thrilling finish with McIlroy now sitting at the top of the leaderboard, tied at 11-under with the American Chris Gotterup. Advertisement After his impressive third-round 66, the PGA Tour took notice, posting about McIlroy on social media: '54-hole co-leader @McIlroyRory goes for his 30th (!) PGA TOUR title on Sunday @ScottishOpen.' Rory McIlroy watches his ball from the tee of No. 4 Saturday at the Cognizant Classic at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens. It was a strong nod to McIlroy's dominance and his pursuit of another PGA title, which would mark his second Scottish Open win in three years. McIlroy's round included five birdies and just one bogey, with birdies on all three par-fives. This continues his streak of 11 straight rounds under 68 at the Renaissance Club. Reflecting on his form, he said per BBC Sport, 'I think I'm pretty close to being back to the level I was at going into the Masters.' McIlroy has been navigating a post-Masters lull since winning the career Grand Slam at Augusta, but he feels he's turned a corner. 'I feel like I came to this tournament with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for the rest of the year,' he added. Advertisement Sharing the top spot is Chris Gotterup, who had led by four shots going into Saturday but now finds himself tied with the Northern Irishman after a tight third round. Just two strokes behind are Matt Fitzpatrick, Marco Penge, Wyndham Clark, and Jake Knapp at 9-under. With McIlroy eyeing his 30th PGA TOUR title and Gotterup chasing a breakthrough, Sunday's final round is set for a competitive finish at the Scottish Open.
