A rampaging Geoff Ogilvy set his home course alight by shooting a record-equalling 63 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead over Britain's Ian Poulter heading into the final round of the Australian Masters. Former US Open champion Ogilvy, a long-time member of the tournament's Victoria Golf Club venue, put on a clinic of iron-play and putting on a windy afternoon as he charged past overnight leader Poulter to move to a 13-under total of 200. Britain's hopes of a win Down Under lie firmly on Poulter's shoulders, with world No. 1 Luke Donald eight strokes behind after a third successive day of toil on the greens. Donald, the joint US PGA and European Tour money list winner, carded a two-under 69 and birdied his last hole to give himself the faintest hope of an unlikely victory Sunday. The day belonged firmly to the moustachioed Ogilvy, however, as he tore through the front nine in 29 and tapped in his ninth birdie on the par-five 18th to equal the sandbelt course's record. Bursting out of the blocks with an eagle and two birdies in his first three holes, Ogilvy threatened to obliterate the mark after reaching eight-under with a 30-metre chip-in for birdie at the par-four 12th, but marred his round with bogeys at 13 and 16. Poulter is outright second after carding a two-under 69, with Australians Nathan Green and Ashley Hall in joint third place, two strokes further adrift. Schwartzel reduces Westwood lead Masters champion Charl Schwartzel shot a second straight 6-under 66 Saturday to reduce Lee Westwood's lead to four strokes at the Thailand Golf Championship. Westwood led by 11 strokes at the halfway stage after going bogey-free on the opening two days but a 1-over 73 in the third round allowed Schwartzel to peg him back. Schwartzel holed four straight birdies from the 2nd hole and was within three shots of the lead heading to the last but a bogey 5 gave Westwood some breathing space. Michael Thompson of the US had a 3-under 69 to lie third at 12 under, seven shots adrift of Westwood. Schwartzel came from four shots back to win his first major at the Masters in April. Westwood's total of 197 for three rounds left him at 19 under. The Englishman shot a career-low score of 60 in the first round and followed that with a 64. He had four bogeys Saturday as his form dipped.
