Defending champion Adam Scott will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Australian Masters after another dominant round at Royal Melbourne on Saturday.
Scott leads a group of four – among them, Fijian former world number one Vijay Singh – as he bids for back-to-back Australian tournament victories after winning last week’s Australian PGA title.
World number two Scott fired seven birdies and two bogeys to be on 14 under.
“It was a good round out there for sure, it puts me in really good position for tomorrow [today],” said Scott.
Singh surged into contention with seven birdies and an eagle in his eight-under 63 to be in a tie for second with Australians Nathan Holman, Nick Cullen and Matthew Griffin.
Singh is searching for his first tournament victory since 2008. Scott will go head-to-head with Singh in the final group today.
