Brandt Snedeker was unable to hold onto his 36-hole lead as he faltered and Adam Scott battled back to regain the lead.
Tiger Woods started the day four shots back and finished five back. Graeme McDowell made a late run to get within four himself.
Adam Scott is looking to win his first major and become the 16th player in the last 16 majors to hoist a trophy. He appears to be in the driver's seat the way he's played the first 54 holes.

Thanks to everyone who joined and followed. It was another fun day of golf although no one really moved anymore into contention. It should be interesting tomorrow and I'll be back to do this one more time starting at 6:00 am ET.
Have a great Saturday night everyone!
Adam Scott, should he win, will be the 16th different champion in 16 majors. It would also be his first major so it sounds about right.

I said coming into today that Adam Scott was the favorite and he only solidified that belief for me. I don't expect anyone to catch him but I really only see Graeme McDowell being able to catch him.
McDowell is four back and it will be tough. I don't think he catches him but he is so consistent. I'd love the drama of Tiger coming from behind but I just don't think he has enough birdies in him. The best scenario for Tiger is wind and weather getting the best of the field and him just holding firm for another 67 or 68.
