Matt Wallace will take a three-shot lead into the final round of the Scottish Championship after a pretty decent six-under-par 66 round on Saturday.
The Englishman managed his second bogey-free round of the week by converting four birdies and one brilliant eagle, which came on the par-four 7th hole after Wallace drove on to the green from the tee.
By finishing the day on 18 under par, Wallace will be eager to deliver another smooth performance on Sunday and hoping to secure a fifth European Tour title.
