SYDNEY - Former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy fired an eight-under-par 64 to move into the outright lead at the Australian Open and set up a final round showdown with two-time major winner Jordan Spieth on Saturday. The 2010 Australian Open champion consolidated with birdies at the par-five 16th and par-four 18th for a tournament-low round. The 2014 Australian Open champion needed 25 putts on Saturday and said he feels confident on the greens after lamenting poor putting on the first two days. The 35-year-old is chasing a third Australian Open title, 17 years after his win as an 18-year-old amateur at Royal Sydney in 1999. The top three players at the Australian Open will win direct entry into next July’s British Open at Royal Birkdale.
