Rory McIlroy remains tied for the lead at the Scottish Open after the latest round, with the top spot held in a three-way tie. Multiple outlets report McIlroy is still among the leaders heading into the weekend. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, is not among those advancing, as he misses the cut, which removes him from contention for the weekend rounds. The Independent and other reports also note that Jordan Smith and Tom Kim are part of the group tied for first place alongside McIlroy. With Scheffler eliminated from further play, attention turns to the remaining leaders who will compete over the weekend to take sole possession or widen their advantage. All sources agree on the core leaderboard situation: McIlroy shares the top position, the leaders include Smith and Tom Kim, and Scheffler does not make the cut. The reports do not include further details on scores beyond the shared-lead and cut outcomes.
