Australian Adam Scott has established a four-shot lead going into the final day of the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

A bogey on the 13th was the only stain on Scott's card as a two-under round of 68 put him on 11-under-par overall.

After a course record-equalling round of 64 on Friday, it was a disappointing day for overnight leader Brandt Snedeker, whose three-over score of 73 saw him drop down to seven-under with Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell.

Tiger Woods is still in the hunt on six-under, while Zach Johnson had the best round of the day as a 66 put him on five-under with Ernie Els. Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen is a shot further back.

Masters winner Bubba Watson is joined by three others on two-under, while world number one Luke Donald is among a group of four on one-under.

Lee Westwood suffered again to end the day on one-over and Rory McIlroy is 16 shots off the lead.
