GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) - Adam Scott shot an even-par 71 on Saturday but managed to extend his lead to three strokes at the Australian PGA going into Sunday's final round at a wind-swept Royal Pines.

Scott, playing the first of four consecutive tournaments in Australia and for the first time since his U.S. Masters triumph in April, had a three-round total of 10-under 203. He led by two shots after the second round.

He'll play in Sunday's final group with American Rickie Fowler, who also shot 71 and was tied for second with Australian David McKenzie, who shot 72.

Australian Marc Leishman shot 68 and was in a group tied for sixth, five strokes behind Scott.
