Adam Scott, Jiyai Shin lead respective fields entering Australian Open final round
MELBOURNE, Australia — Adam Scott and Jiyai Shin led the men’s and women’s Australian Opens after three rounds at Victoria Golf Club. There is plenty of nearby company to challenge them for the first national golf championship to hold a concurrent tournament off alternate tees.
Poland’s Adrian Meronk hopes his upward trend continues after he set himself for a shot at the men’s title. He shot a course record-equaling 7-under 63 in the third round to trail Scott, who had an eagle on the 18th for a 54-hole total of 11-under 201, by one stroke.
Scott didn’t make his first birdie until the 12th but had 31 on the back nine for a 67.
