The Australian followed up Friday's score of 67 with a round of 68 to leave him on 11-under-par going into the final day at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

"I'm feeling great, it was good solid day and I did what I needed to do," the 32-year-old told BBC Sport. "I've never played in the final pairing at a major and was really excited.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I'm in a great position and am hopefully a good round of golf will make it hard for the other guys. It's almost impossibe not to think about playing tomorrow but I'll do everything I normally do."

Scott's previous best at the tournament was a tie for eighth in 2006.
