Adam Scott has a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell and Brandt Snedeker heading into the final round of the 141st Open championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

32-year-old Scott shot a two-under 68 on Saturday to end the day at 11 under par for the tournament ahead of what is forecast to be windy conditions on the Fylde coast on Sunday.

Northern Ireland's McDowell, the 2010 US Open champion, climbed to seven under after a third round 67, while second-round leader Snedeker holed a big putt at 18 for a 73.

Tiger Woods, who is looking to win a 15th major and his first since the 2008 US Open, is one shot further adrift after bouncing back from two dropped shots in his first three holes to shoot a level-par 70.

2002 Open champion Ernie Els (68) and 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson (66), ended Saturday on five under.
