Chris Gotterup starts with a solid par after his birdie attempt from 28 feet brushed the hole. That should settle any early nerves. Harry Hall's par putt slips past, though. Still Scottie Scheffler searches for his first birdie of the day after another putt lips out on 10. The big fella is not a happy camper out there.

The 36-hole lead at the 2025 Scottish Open belongs to Chris Gotterup, who fired a second round 61 to tie the course record at the Renaissance Club and take a two-shot lead into the weekend at 11 under.

Rory McIlroy didn't get off to a good start in the first round of the Scottish Open, but he managed to overcome the issue and stay in contention.
