Adam Scott stayed on top at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open despite seeing his course record equalled by Adrian Meronk.<\/p>\n
The 2013 Masters champion had shot 63 on Friday to share the halfway lead with compatriot David Micheluzzi but saw Poland’s Meronk surge to the top of the leaderboard with a nine-birdie round on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Scott responded by finishing with an eagle for the second day in succession to move to 11 under, one stroke ahead of Meronk at the summit.<\/p>\n
Having played the front nine in one over par, he came home in 31 thanks to two birdies and that closing eagle and said: “I think I actually played at least as well, if not better, than I did yesterday. It just was one of those days where the numbers never fell into a great spot to challenge a back flag.”<\/p>\n
