Min Woo Lee will start the final round of the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open tied for the lead, joining Robert MacIntyre and Matt Fitzpatrick at 12 under after the third round was completed early Sunday morning. The finish was pushed into Sunday after fog slowed play on Saturday, and the final round began July 12 at the Renaissance Club in Scotland.

That makes Lee one of three players with the clearest path into Sunday, and it leaves the tournament set up for a tight finish rather than a runaway. For viewers following the leaderboard, Golf Channel opens Sunday coverage from 2-4 a.m. ET and again from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. ET, before CBS takes over from 12-3 p.m. ET; PGA Tour Live on + starts at 6:30 a.m. ET, while GOLF mobile begins at 4 a.m. ET and carries a simulcast of Golf Channel’s TV coverage.

Rory McIlroy remains in the mix, but the gap is real. After eight holes on Saturday, he was five shots behind the co-leaders and stood at six under with 28 holes left to play on Sunday, giving him work to do if he is going to reel in the players ahead of him. That is the hardest part of a delayed major-style Sunday: the leaderboard is packed at the top, but there is still little room for a mistake from anyone trying to come from behind.

The unfinished business from Saturday is what made the overnight reset matter. Fog had already knocked the third round off schedule, and when play was completed, the board settled into a three-way tie that now defines the final round. CBS’s final-round coverage is also available on Paramount+, while the TV window splits between Golf Channel and CBS through the afternoon, keeping the title chase in view from the first morning tee shots to the closing stretch.

The key question now is whether Lee can turn the shared lead into a win before the pressure of a Sunday chase catches up with him. If the three leaders separate early, the rest of the field may be forced to simply keep pace; if they stay bunched, the title could be decided late, with McIlroy still waiting for a closing run of his own.
