Tommy Fleetwood revelled in horrendous conditions to play himself into contention for a sixth European Tour title in the £5.4mASI Scottish Open.

Fleetwood defied gusting winds and constant heavy rain, which left parts of the course at the Renaissance Club under water, to card a third round of 69 and finish seven under par, two shots behind fellow Englishman Robert Rock.
