AFP: World number seven Adam Scott surged into contention while two-time major champion Jordan Spieth remained within striking distance of leader James Nitties in the Australian Open second round on Friday.

Nitties – who competes on mini-tours in the United States, and complained he often stays in cockroach-infested hotels – fired seven-under 65 to enter the weekend at nine-under 135.

New Zealander Ryan Fox was one shot behind at eight-under, with Australia’s Rhein Gibson alone in third at the par-72 Royal Sydney Golf Club.

Local favourite Scott vaulted into a five-way tie for fourth at six-under, three shots off the pace, after a morning 65 that included a closing nine of six-under 30. 

Former world number one Spieth is one shot further back in a six-way tie for ninth after following his opening 69 with a 70.

The top three players in Sydney who are not otherwise exempt will win direct entry into next July’s British Open at Royal Birkdale.
