A much-craved second major continues to elude him but Adam Scott may be one great round from capping his decorated career with a historic second season-ending Tour Championship title.
As golf's biggest names jostle for the $US10 million ($A14 million) winner's cheque in Atlanta, Scott quietly but steadily climbed into a tie for third place entering the final round.
The 2006 champion compiled a classy third-round five-under-par 65 at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club to position himself three shots behind Norwegian leader Viktor Hovland.
