Scott turns back clock in Tour Championship title tilt
A much-craved second major continues to elude him but Adam Scott may be one great round from capping his decorated career with a second season-ending Tour Championship title.
Adam Scott finds himself tied for third place in the PGA Tour Championship, trailing leader Viktor Hovland by three shots. The final round is scheduled for Sunday. Scott, a three-time Masters champion, is one victory away from securing his second Tour Championship title and adding to his already impressive career. With $US10 million ($A14 million) up for grabs, Scott enters the final round in Atlanta with a strong position.
Hovland, the current leader, posted a impressive third-round five-under-par 65, extending his lead to a single shot over American Ryan Gerard. Scott's putting proved to be the highlight of his round, with a total of 132 yards drained, including three crucial birdies. Despite the crowded field, Scott remains optimistic about his chances, acknowledging the need for a "really great round" to secure the title.
