Jed Morgan has Greg Norman in his sights as he eyes the biggest win in Australian PGA Championship history.
The Royal Queensland member has made light work of his home course, carding rounds of 65, 63 and 65 to sit a whopping nine shots clear of Andrew Dodt at 20-under entering Sunday's final round.
Norman twice won the title by eight shots in back-to-back years in 1984-85, while three-time US Open champion Hale Irwin did it at Royal Melbourne in 1978.
Morgan is also poised to set the lowest score relative to par in the event's history, with Nick O'Hern and Peter Lonard's 22-under in 2006 under threat. Read more
