Adam Scott shares Australian Masters lead despite late freefall

Adam Scott may not be too enthusiastic about Olympics golf, but the Australian still perks up when he plays in his home country.

A late Friday freefall took Scott out of full command in Melbourne but the 35-year-old did just enough for a share of the 36-hole lead at the Australian Masters.

After an opening 64, Scott threatened to run away with the tournament in the early proceedings on Friday. The Aussie completed a flawless front nine at Huntingdale Golf Club with four birdies and no bogeys to move to 11 under and five shots clear of the field.
