Adam Scott stayed on top at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open despite seeing his course record equalled by Adrian Meronk.

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.
