SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Min Woo Lee and Japan's Rikuya Hoshino look set for a final-day shootout for the second week in a row after finishing the third round of the Australian Open in a share of a one-stroke lead on Saturday.

Lee, who prevailed in his duel with Hoshino last week in to win the Australian PGA Championship, needed a 10-foot birdie putt at the last to complete a scrappy round of one-under-par 70 and get back on terms with his Japanese rival on 13-under.
