Min Woo Lee shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to reach 12-under and take a narrow lead into the weekend at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship.

"Just hit a couple bad swings on the last three holes, but overall, really happy with the way I went," said the Australian.

"Very solid and kept doing the right things. Today was a bit more shaky than yesterday, but felt like I've made up and down when I needed to.

"You've got to be smart and aggressive when you can. So this course, sometimes it does make you play a bit more aggressive and that's where it bites you. So it's a course where you just have to play with your brain and just attack the pin from the right spots".

Adam Scott carded a bogey-free 65 to move into second place at 11-under, one ahead of John Lyras who closed with a bogey-free 67.

"It all felt pretty good," said Scott.

"I mean, in these conditions, that's good stuff. I mean, I felt comfortable tee through the green today. There were a couple of holes there on the back, 13 and 14 that were kind of huge for the round, just to keep it going because the birdies weren't easy at the end, obviously. Yeah. But I'm really pleased with the way the game feels. And that's positive going into the weekend."

Overnight leader Joel Moscatel of Spain, the only non-Australian in the top-5, made three bogeys and closed with a 71 to slip down into a share of fourth place at 8-under alongside Lucas Herbert (68) and Curtis Luck (67).
