In a thrilling chase for the Australian PGA Championship title, Adam Scott finds himself two strokes behind a trio of leaders, one of whom has a surprising connection to golf legend Tiger Woods. But can Scott, a former world number one, and his recent drought and secure victory, the stage she set at Royal Queensland for an exciting final round on Sunday. Scott, a 45-year-old Australian veteran, shot a solid five under 66 on Saturday, tying for sixth place with fellow Aussie Mark Leashman, who also cudded an impressive 67. Both players are eager to make their mark on home soil, a rare opportunity due to their commitments on the PGA and LIV tours. But here’s where it gets interesting. The third round lead is shared by three players including European tour regulars David Pri 65 and Ricardo Guvia 66 and the surprise package Australian Anthony Quill 67 and Quill has none other than Wood’s former caddy Steve Williams by his side. This dynamic duo is sure to spark curiosity and perhaps some controversy as Williams presence adds an intriguing twist to the tournament. I was very consistent off the tea and hit a lot of greens which is crucial on this course shared Guvia explaining his strategy. Meanwhile, Mimui and second round leader Kazuma Kobbori were just one stroke behind the leaders tied for fourth. Kobari, a Japanese-born New Zealander, showcased his skills with four consecutive birdies on Friday and two more on Saturday, but then a streak of 16 straight pass his momentum. Scott, a 2013 Masters champion, knows he needs an exceptional final round to triumph. With 32 victories worldwide, his last 72 whole win was in 2020 at the Genesis Invitational. It’s hard to complain about a 66, he admitted, but I’ll need a strong front nine and a solid finish to have a chance. It’s a tight leaderboard, so I’ll need to bring my agame. Adding to the drama, players had to navigate yet another thunderstorm delay. After storms disrupted play on Thursday and Friday, Saturday brought another 2-hour suspension. However, the soft greens and lift cleaned and place rules on the fairways presented an opportunity for lower scores. The field also includes Jeff Oggov, the 2006 US Open champion and future captain of the international team at the 2025 President’s Cup. Oggov shot a 66 to position himself at 10 under, just three strokes off the lead. The Australian PGA Championship co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australia and the European Tour marks the beginning of the European Tours 2025 to 26 season following Rory Maroyy’s recent race to Dubai triumph. Marai will be the star attraction at next week’s Australian Open, adding further excitement to the Australian golf scene. And this is the part that will have fans on the edge of their seats. Can Scott with his impressive resume overcome the odds and claim victory? Will the presence of Wood’s former caddy Williams prove to be a gamecher for Quill? As the tournament reaches its climax, these questions will surely fuel lively discussions among golf enthusiasts. What do you think? Is Scott due for a comeback win or will the leaderboard surprise us all?
