    Sorry we had a scoring glitch with Spargo's scores. He actually made bogey on the 1st and is back at -4 for the tournament.

    Watson makes his birdie on the 8th and is at +2 for the tournament. Hopefully he can put it close on the par 3 9th and get another.

  • Dirty day for two-time Open winner Rob Allenby 77 and will miss cut. #ausopengolf

    Tom Watson finishes at +2 with a -4 round, what a champion. If things stay as they are now he will make the cut.

    Steve Jones misses his birdie putt on the last but manages to record a 4 under par round of 68. Right in contention heading into the weekend

  • "If I play we'll this week or next week (a spot in) the (US) Masters is a chance" @Marcusfraser has motivation to win the #AusOpenGolf

    Ogilvy hits from the sand on 3 and comes up short of the green. Goggin produces a great approach to finish in the centre of the green whilst Senden also comes up short.

    Great chip from Ogilvy to put within a couple if feet. Senden's was nit as good and has a tricky putt.

    Senden and Ogilvy both save it with good putts.

  • "To finish 2nd in 2 of our biggest tournaments is a huge confidence boost" @Marcusfraser on last yrs Aus PGA & Masters finishes #AusOpenGolf
  • Loving the long, tough par 4s (3rd's a brute) and the strategic, shorter par 5s at The Lakes. Great design = interesting golf #AusOpenGolf
  • 12/7/2012 2:09:00 AM | PGA Media
    Spargo's streak has slowed down after starting the on the front 9 he's made two bogeys on 1 and 3 and pars... playing the 6th now

  • Andrew Kelly is playing his round solo today- he's 1-over through 3 holes. Should be a very quick round for the #Victorian #AusOpenGolf

    The third round has been a bit of a disaster for Marc Leishman, with two double bogeys (2nd &15th) he posted 4-over for the day to be 2-over for the tournament. He has dropped from T11 down to T40. Looking to bounce back tomorrow.

    Rose goes for the green in two on the 17th only to see it bounce off the back and finish up under a tree. Paddison sprays it right but lands safe.

    Rose's 3rd shot rolls off the other side of the green. After looking for an eagle here he might be lucky to get par.

    Rose chips his 4th shot and sticks it this time, he has a lengthy par putt to come.

    Paddison comes away with par on 17, remains at -2 (T11)

    Rose pushes it long and right on 18. Ball rolled through the crowd and next to the marquees.

    Roes plays a nice pitch over the bunker on 18 to leave himself a 10ft putt

    Rose bogeys the last to finish with a 70 (-2). He is two shots back from Senden who is playing the 17th.

    Fraser makes it back to back bogeys with one at 16. He is now at -3 (T6)
