Who is leading the 2023 Australian PGA Championship after Round 3? Day 3 leaderboard explored 

Day 3 of the 2023 Australian PGA Championship concluded on Saturday with Min Woo Lee in the lead. The Aussie extended his lead from Round 2 by carding a round of 5-under 66. The 25-year-old, who got his dream pairing with Adam Scott, sits 17-under total.

Lee is within reach of the 72-hole tournament record of 22-under par as he heads to the final round, leading the likes of Rikuya Hoshino (64) and Curtis Luck (66) by three strokes. Despite strong rounds, the Japanese and his fellow West Australian golfer couldn’t close in on the young leader.

Veteran Scott, who teed off with Lee, sat fourth on the leaderboard after the end of the round.
