Adam Scott takes advantage of benign early conditions in Scotland to give him a chance ahead of the final round of The Open.
Adam Scott sits tied for tenth as the best-placed Australian, four shots off the lead at Royal Troon .
Adam Scott took full advantage of relatively benign conditions on the Ayrshire coast for early starters to resurrect a title challenge he thought was long gone.Scott started at five over par, 12 shots behind overnight leader Shane Lowry, but birdied the first two holes as he set the tone for a four-under 32 to surge 41 places by the turn.
Scott's 66 was good enough for a solo clubhouse lead for 90 minutes before Justin Thomas joined him after recording a four-under round. Half-an-hour later Thriston Lawrence went past them both after a round that began in electrifying fashion with six birdies in the first eight holes. "If I am, then that's a bonus, but I'm going to need wind and everything to be in my favour to kind of be in the mix."He then scrambled well to par the fourth after landing in a fairway bunker and having to chip out sideways.ABC Sport Daily is your daily sports conversation.
