With a round to go Aussie Matt Jones added a -3 68 to reach -13 and a three shot lead over jorneyman American Cameron Tringale (69) -10 and Louis Oosthuizen, Paul Casey and Japanese amateur Takuma Kanaya all at -9.
Jones whose trophy wife former Miss Idaho, Melissa Weber Jones garners as much media attention as he does, lives in Scottsdale, and hails from Sydney won here in 2015, and has all of Australia rooting him on.
With swirling winds, choked with the smoke from the fires raging in New South Wales, and tough pin placements, par 71 swelled to just over 72, low scoring obviously at a premium.
" I was very calm out there today, my caddie said to me on the first tee, are you not nervous?, I was very comfortable and excited to go out and play"
International Team members scoring: Louis Oosthuizen 68 66 70 -9, Marc Leishman 69 67 70 -7, Cameron Smith 68 72 70 -3, Abraham Ancer 72 66 773 -2, Adam Scott 75 67 MC.
