Adam Scott and Marc Leishman won’t be in contention on
Sunday at the ISPS HANDA World Cup of Golf but are still hoping to generate
some excitement for the fans in the final round.

"AdamIt’s been a week of frustrations for the Australian team,
who lacking momentum, have been unable to produce their best golf.

"Golf’s a lot more fun when you’re winning and making a lot
of birdies and we just haven’t made them this week.  It’s pretty much simple as that," said Scott.

"We just haven’t got any momentum going, we haven’t had a
hot nine holes to get us in the tournament and we might have left it too
late.  But an up day tomorrow can go a
long way."

Leishman continues to be upbeat heading into the final round
saying, "We may have left it too late, but we’ll never give up.  There’s still a bit at stake. 

"We’ll play well and it’s more fun making birdies, so even
if we don’t have a chance to win, we still want to make lots of birdies and
have fun."

In the third round Leishman and Scott, playing alternate
shots, combined to shoot 2-under 70 to be 4-under the card and T11.

"Nothing much special happened, which has been the theme all
week, but fairly steady today.  So 2-under
is not a bad score but it wasn’t anything great," said Scott.

"It was I guess better than we did Thursday.  It was obviously a tough start but conditions
are probably a little easier today and we made a few more birdies, which was
nice. Hopefully we can have a real low one tomorrow," added Leishman.

As the Danes showed yesterday when they fired 12-under 60,
the fourball format, allows the opportunity for a low score and that is what
the Aussies are aiming for.

"We’re just going to have to make every putt we look
at.  That’s what it takes to shoot any
low round.  Hopefully we’ve saved them
all until tomorrow," said Scott.

With Leishman further explaining, "We’ve hit a lot of good
putts that have looked like going in and burning the edges.  I guess you’ve got to try to take the
positives out of that, that we’re hitting good putts. 

"Hopefully they’ll drop tomorrow and we can try and beat
Denmark’s score of yesterday.  I think
we’ll have to."
