Purcell holds firm in weather delayed ISCO Championship
In a topsy-turvy round, Purcell managed to card six birdies and a triple-bogey to eventually sign for a score that leaves him on level par overall, tied for 29th spot. Purcell was one of the lucky players who got his third round completed before play was suspended for the evening.
A birdie just before play was suspended around 9pm in Kentucky lifted Skinns to seven-under-par and three strokes off the pace with three holes of his round to complete.
American Chan Kim headed into Saturday with a five-stroke lead, but he saw that whittled away after lightning forced play to be delayed by three hours in Louisville.
A bogey on the sixth after the second resumption dropped Kim to 10-under-par and although he birdied the 10th, he immediately dropped another shot as five birdies from the sixth to the 14th lifted Peterson out of the pack to join him.
Kim dropped another at the 12th just before play was suspended to drop out of the lead to sit one stroke back.
England's David Skinns holed an eight-foot birdie putt on the 15th before darkness forced the players off the course, moving into a share of third with American Luke List who carded a bogey-free 65 to take the lead in the clubhouse.
Three birdies around the turn had seen Skinns bounce back from a couple of dropped shots. A bogey at the 11th stalled his momentum before the late birdie.
Fellow Englishman Callum Tarren also reached seven-under-par with three birdies in five holes, but back-to-back bogeys on the 13th, 14th and 15th left him six strokes off the pace with three holes to complete.

William Mouw hits a 61 to win ISCO Championship in Louisville
A stellar closing round score of 61 proved just enough to propel American William Mouw to a maiden PGA Tour title at the ISCO Championship in Louisville. The 24-year-old entered the final round one-under-par and seven strokes back, but quickly set about climbing the ladder. He opened with three straight birdies and picked up two more strokes headed to the turn to reach the halfway mark five-under-par for his round. Mouw's momentum carried into the back nine as he birdied holes 10, 11, 13 and 17 without dropping a shot. After a two-hour wait, Mouw's victory was confirmed when third-round leader Paul Peterson missed a 55-foot birdie try on the par four 18th. Conor Purcell closed with a 72 to to finish in a tie for 45th. England's David Skinns was fourth after an even par closing 70.

Rory McIlroy happy where his game is at ahead of Open Championship tilt
Rory McIlroy was delighted with his form at the Scottish Open after finishing runner-up to American Chris Gotterup and the Northern Irishman said his game is in a good place heading into the Open at Royal Portrush this week. McIlroy was looking to become the first player to win the Masters and Scottish Open in the same season but finished two shots behind world number 158 Gotterup at the Renaissance Club, tied with Marco Penge for second place. The 36-year-old has struggled to find his best form after completing the career grand slam at the Masters in April, and said in June he had not known how hard it would be to stay motivated. However, after a strong performance in North Berwick, the five-time major champion said he was now ready to fully focus on the final major of the year. "I'm really happy with where everything is," McIlroy, who won the Open in 2014, told reporters. "Looking forward to getting to Portrush and getting out onto the golf course and just turning my attention to that. "I'm really happy with where my game is, the way I played over the weekend, the shots that I hit, how I controlled my ball flight.
