Scott falters, Millar takes Australian Masters lead

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Matthew Millar overcame blustery winds to shoot a 3-under 68 -- one of the best rounds of the day at Huntingdale -- and take a one-stroke lead after three rounds at the Australian Masters.

Adam Scott, who led after the first two rounds, bogeyed his opening hole and struggled all day for a 77 and was five strokes behind. He began and ended the back nine with consecutive bogeys on 10-11 and 17-18.

Millar had a 7-under total of 206. Andrew Evans shot 70 and was in second place, followed by four players tied for third, two strokes behind: Peter Senior (68), Michael Sim (68), John Senden (71) and Matthew Guyatt (73).
