The Genesis Scottish Open enters its final round Sunday with a compressed leaderboard, a fog delay, and Min Woo Lee positioned to capitalize. The Australian star, known for explosive scoring, sits within striking distance at the Renaissance Club.
Fog suspended the third round overnight. Players will complete it Sunday morning before the final round begins. The delay reshuffled tee times and compressed the field.
Min Woo Lee’s game fits the links course. He ranks top-10 in driving distance. He scrambles effectively. He thrives in wind.
Sunday TV coverage begins at 8 a.m. ET on Golf Channel. CBS picks up at 1 p.m. ET. Sky Sports broadcasts in the UK. Streaming options include Peacock and PGA Tour Live.
Updated tee times are available on the PGA Tour website. The final round will feature threesomes off both tees to account for the suspension.
Min Woo Lee vs. The Chasing Pack
| Player | Ranking (World) | Key Strength | Links Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Min Woo Lee | 32 | Driving distance, scrambling | Top-10 at 2025 Open |
| Rory McIlroy | 2 | Power, experience | Winner at 2024 Scottish Open |
| Matt Fitzpatrick | 8 | Precision, short game | Top-5 at 2025 Open |
| Robert MacIntyre | 25 | Local knowledge, links comfort | Top-10 at 2024 Scottish Open |
Min Woo Lee’s aggressive style contrasts with Fitzpatrick’s methodical approach. McIlroy’s power is neutralized by the fog delay. MacIntyre’s course knowledge remains a factor.
The fog delay could benefit Min Woo Lee. Players lose rhythm. He gains time to refine his strategy. History shows weather delays often produce low final-round scores from aggressive players.
Tom Kim defends his title. He enters Sunday within reach. Dark horses include players who thrive in disrupted schedules.
Key moments to watch: early birdies, pressure putts, and the par-5 16th. Min Woo Lee’s birdie streak potential is highest on the front nine. The course is vulnerable after overnight rain.
Weather forecast for Sunday: partly cloudy, winds 10-15 mph. No further delays expected.
Can Min Woo Lee steal the show? His momentum, course fit, and X-factor make him a strong contender. A closing 64 would likely win. He has shot 63 or better in three of his last eight rounds on links courses.
