“I’d like to be six or seven ahead, to be honest, but it’s a good spot to be in,” said the Australian.

“I can’t complain. Everything’s feeling really good, so feeling really confident and really looking forward to tomorrow.”

Smith is aiming for a third win after winning the event in 2017 and 2018.

“Like I said at the start of the week, I wouldn’t complain with another one of these.

“My big thing down here was to have a really big crack at the Aussie Open. I haven’t won one of those yet and I think that would be a really good end to a really good year. I’ll be trying my best tomorrow still.”
