Adam Scott has a three-shot lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational just after the halfway point of the third round of the PGA tournament at Bay Hill, Florida.

Overnight leader Scott, sits at 14-under-par through 11 holes with American Chesson Hadley three strokes back in second.

A victory this week from world No.2 Scott wouldn’t see him overtake Tigers Woods atop the world rankings but it would move him so near that he could do so in the next few weeks if neither plays again, as is expected.
