    Forecast for the final round direct from the Tour office, looks like the players teeing off early will get the best of the wind conditions even if they did get a little wet.

    Since 2001 only two players have lead after Round 3 and gone on to win the Australian Masters, those players were Justin Rose (06) and Tiger Woods (09). Ian Poulter has the chance to be the third and no one will be betting against him if he plays as he did yesterday.

    With the slightly wet course this morning not many players are making a move up the leaderboard most are even par or worse. The exceptions are Ryan Haller (-2 for round, T43), Alistair Presnell (-1 for round, T47), Clint Rice (-1 for round, T47) and Daniel Popovic (-1 for round, 64th).

    So far for the tournament only five holes have an under par average. Those being 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th & 14th with the 1st being the easiest. Birdies today could be hard to come, might favour the front runners.

    Other than Ian Poulter, only one other Englishman has won the Australian Masters title. Justin Rose took home the gold jacket in 2006 after prevailing at Huntingdale.

    Clouds overhead on the 2nd green. Amateur Nathan Holman has just missed a putt for birdie here. If you are at the tournament its a great location to watch from with the 2nd & 16th greens only metres from the 17th tee.

    There have been 14 eagles so far this week with seven of them coming at the 1st hole. It's a great way to start a round!

    Sportsbet has Ian Poulter as the $1.70 favourite ahead of Adam Scott at $2.20. If you like a very long shot, Matt Guyatt is paying $81.00.

    Not a great start for Richard Green with a bogey on the 1st. He eagled the same hole yesterday.

    Young guns Cameron Smith and Brody Ninyette have both birdied the first and are into the top 10. Should be a good group to watch today.
