Alex Noren has recorded a third-round score of 68 to extend his lead at the top of the Scottish Open leaderboard.
The 33-year-old birdied the last two holes to take his advantage at the top to two shots over closest challengers Tyrrell Hatton and Matteo Manassero.
Heavy rain in Inverness made play difficult, but Noren was able to card an impressive four-under to remain on course at Castle Stuart heading into the final day on Sunday.
Just six shots separate the top-15 players in what is the final event before next week's British Open, with Hatton also ending strongly to make up some ground on the overnight leader.
Richie Ramsey is carrying the flag for Scotland, meanwhile, ending the round in a tie for ninth alongside six others thanks to an overall score of six-under-par.
