  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
