Scott's stunning final-hole eagle turns Aus Open 

Adam Scott was swinging late for most of Saturday until the final move, uphill, when he holed a stunning eagle on the final hole to take the lead

After shooting a 63 on Friday, Scott's scorecard barely budged on Saturday as Poland's Adrian Meronk made a blistering birdie to equal the course record.
