The Australian PGA Championship is heating up, and one legendary Catt’s presence is stealing the spotlight. But it’s not just about Steve Williams. Adam Scott and Mark Leechman, two of Australia’s golfing icons, are hot on the heels of a trio of leaders as they head into Sunday’s final round at Royal Queensland. But here’s where it gets intriguing. Scott, a former world number one and leashman Aliy Turst Stalwward rarely compete on home soil, making this showdown even more special. With only two highle pro tournaments left in Australia this season, this week’s PGA and next week’s Australian Open, the stakes are sky-high. Scott, 45, fired a five under 66 on Saturday, while Leechman, 42, carded a 67, leaving them tied for sixth and just two strokes off the lead. But this is the part most people miss. Leading the pack are three players. European tour regulars David Pig, 65, and Ricardo Guvia, 66, alongside Australian Anthony Quail, 67, who has none other than Tigerwood’s former caddy, Steve Williams, by his side. The trio sits at 13 under 200, but can they hold off the chasing pack? Guilla credited his success to consistency, saying, “I was very steady off the tea and hit a lot of greens, which is crucial on a course like this.” Meanwhile, Minwi, 67, and second round leader Kazuma Kobori, 68, are just one stroke back, tied for fourth. Kobori’s roller coaster round four consecutive birdies to finish Friday. Two more to start Saturday and then 16 straight pars showcases the unpredictability of this tournament. Scott knows he needs a beauty of a final round to catch the leaders. Despite eight birdies and three bogeies, he’s aware the competition is fierce. It’s hard to complain about a 66, he admitted, but I’ll need a strong front nine and a flawless finish. I can’t afford a stall. It’s too tight. With 32 global victories, but number 72 whole wins since 2020, Scott is hungry to reclaim the spotlight. And this is where it gets controversial. The tournament has been plagued by thunderstorms causing delays and soft greens. While some players struggled, others thrived under the lift, clean, and place rules leading to lower scores. Is this an unfair advantage or just part of the game? Jeff Ogulvie, the 2006 US Open champion and future President’s Cup captain, shot a 66 and sits three strokes back at 10 under. But with Rory Mroy set to dominate next week’s Australian Open, is this Scott’s last chance to shine on home soil? Co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australia and the European Tour, this event marks the start of the 2025 to 26 season, just weeks after Mroyy’s race to Dubai Triumph. Here’s the burning question. Can Scott or Leashman capitalize on this rare home appearance? Or will the trio of leaders backed by Williams expertise seal the deal? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Who’s your pick to
