Scott four clear as McDowell moves into second

Adam Scott, who reckons he can remember every shot of Greg Norman's closing 64 to win The Open at Sandwich 19 years ago, was today putting himself in pole position to lift the Claret Jug himself.

The 31-year-old Australian started the day one shot behind halfway leader Brandt Snedeker, but just 12 holes later found himself five clear of a chasing pack headed by 14-time major winner Tiger Woods.
