Poulter in straight duel with Scott 負かす/撃墜する Under as in-form 二人組 move (疑いを)晴らす of field

The race for the gold jacket at the Australian Masters is between Ian Poulter and Adam Scott after they stamped their 当局 on the tournament with superb third 一連の会議、交渉/完成するs at Kingston ヒース/荒れ地 in Melbourne.

Poulter 解雇する/砲火/射撃d off a brilliant 64 to be 13 under 全体にわたる and will 長,率いる into the final day with a slender one-一打/打撃 advantage over Scott.

Scott's up-and-負かす/撃墜する 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of 67 was not as flashy as Poulter's but it was good enough to keep him within striking distance and some five 発射s (疑いを)晴らす of third-placed Matthew Guyatt.

On the march: Poulter holds a one-shot advantage over Scott heading into the final day

On the march: Poulter 持つ/拘留するs a one-発射 advantage over Scott 長,率いるing into the final day

Guyatt could only manage a 75 on Saturday and is at seven under, while Kiwi 示す Brown is alone in fourth a 発射 その上の 支援する at minus six.

The 残り/休憩(する) are too far 支援する, although Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell 選ぶd up seven birdies when out nice and 早期に on Saturday to 解雇する/砲火/射撃 a five-under 67.

That 得点する/非難する/20 was easily the world No 24's best of the week and was good enough to move him into a 株 of 13th place at one under 全体にわたる.

Brown matched that 得点する/非難する/20 later in the day, but the two 星/主役にするs on show were Scott and Poulter and they look to be the only golfers 始める,決める to fight it out for the gold jacket on the final day.

All smiles: Ian Poulter
Adam Scott

長,率いる-to-長,率いる: Poulter and Scott will 戦う/戦い it out for the gold jacket at the Australian Masters

?

Playing in the penultimate group of the day, Poulter and Scott matched each other for the 大多数 of the 一連の会議、交渉/完成する through two distinctly different looks and playing styles.

Poulter was dressed boldly in red and often 用心深い off the tee, while Scott was more conservatively 着せる/賦与するd in a grey sweater and often outdriving the Englishman by over 50 metres on some 穴を開けるs.

The two contrasting styles were obvious to all に引き続いて the marquee group in Melbourne's south-east and 非,不,無 more so than on the 比較して short par-four 7th.

Scott にわか景気d his 運動 just a 高く弓形に打ち返す wedge away from the green and tapped in for his three after his approach 発射 stopped within a couple of feet from the 穴を開ける, while Poulter made his birdie the hard way.

He had to rely on a putt from just off the green rolling in after his long-アイロンをかける failed to make the putting surface from やめる some distance out.

The Englishman cheekily smiled at his playing partner once the ball 攻撃する,衝突する the 底(に届く) of the cup as Poulter took a 株 of the lead for the first time during his 一連の会議、交渉/完成する.

Scott joined Poulter and Guyatt out in 前線 at the eighth when he made his third 連続した birdie, but from that point on there were only two players in 論争.

It was a 事例/患者 of 'anything you can do, I can do better' for Scott and Poulter, with the pair going 長,率いる-to-長,率いる on the inward nine and producing some 優れた ゴルフ.

They 選ぶd up another four birdies apiece on the way home and 非,不,無 more impressive than when they made a mockery of the short and tricky par-three 15th by making a pair of twos with 親族 緩和する.

A 穴を開ける later they both dropped a 一打/打撃 - it was to be Poulter's only blemish for the day - and, when Scott could not get up-and-負かす/撃墜する from the 支援する of the 17th and had to settle for a bogey, the defending 支持する/優勝者 was out in 前線 on his own yet again.

The 二人組 then birdied the last in style to 完全にする the day's 対決 and will once again go 長,率いる-to-長,率いる on Sunday when the Masters 勝利者 will be 栄冠を与えるd.
