MacIntyre would be a popular winner at Renaissance ClubCredit: GettyScottish Open 2024: Course detailsThe Renaissance Club is the centre-piece of Scotland’s golf coast and is now the permanent home of the Scottish Open.

The course, located between the famous Muirfield and North Berwick Golf Clubs, will play to a par 70 and a maximum yardage of 7,237 yards this year.

Renaissance has a long, tricky start while the finish is a classic mix of an easier par 5 followed by a demanding par 3 and a long par 4.

The short par 3 sixth always provides entertainment as a host of deep pot bunkers await any wayward tee shots.

The par 4 13th is also a fan favourite. Located right on the beachfront, the hole tempts players to go for the green despite it being 412 yards as the right wind can carry it all the way.

McIlroy won the Scottish Open last year in styleCredit: gettyScottish Open 2024: What has been said?A year after being denied by McIlroy’s last-gasp heroics, MacIntyre has another chance to claim the title he craves most in the £7million Scottish Open.

“The last is a difficult hole, whether it’s flat calm, downwind, into wind, and when they put the pin up that top shelf, it makes it even harder,” MacIntyre said.

“But overall I played absolutely brilliantly. Tee to green was solid again, rolled the putter beautifully. I’ve just got to let it happen, and it happened.

“I’ve not been shy in saying it, the Scottish Open is the one that I want. That’s my end goal, I’ve said it from the start of the week. The Scottish Open on a resume for my whole career is what I want.

“I’ve just got to go and play golf and let it happen. I can’t force it, there’s so many good players in the tournament chasing me down. I can only control me and I’ve controlled myself very well so far.

“I’ve got 18 holes to control myself even more.”

In-form leader Aberg, who missed the cut in the Scottish Open last year in just his fifth event as a professional, said: “Not the most stress-free golf but it was again a good score.

“I felt like I was playing well. I was hitting the shots that I wanted to and then obviously made bogey on 11 and 12 but those things are going to happen when you play a 72-hole golf tournament. You can’t be perfect all the time.

“Looks like I’m playing with Bob as well, so it will be a cool pairing.”
