McIlroy, Smith and Kim Share Lead at Genesis Scottish Open

Rory McIlroy, Jordan Smith and Tom Kim share the lead at the Genesis Scottish Open after two rounds at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. Min Woo Lee and Matt Fitzpatrick sit one stroke behind. The co-sanctioned PGA Tour and DP World Tour event serves as the final tune-up before The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Matt Fitzpatrick carded a second-round 65 and said the course gives him confidence based on prior results. He finished fourth at the event in 2025 and tied for sixth in 2022. Fitzpatrick has won three times in the 2026 season and made the cut in all 16 starts.

Lottie Woad leads the Amundi Evian Championship, an LPGA major with a $9.1 million purse, at 11-under par. Akie Iwai trails by one stroke while Mao Saigo and Haeran Ryu sit three strokes back. Jeeno Thitikul, ranked World No.

2, moved into the top five with a bogey-free 64 in the second round. Thitikul said she hit more fairways and greens than the day before, creating more birdie opportunities. She added that she likes the slopey layout of the course in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France.

Lucas Glover holds the lead at the opposite-field ISCO Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. He said his ball-striking has clicked after adjustments made before the John Deere Classic. Max Homa, after a second-round slide, noted a text exchange with Louisville native Justin Thomas that focused on the weather difference between Kentucky and Scotland.
