The Australian is seven-under par today and after four birdies in five holes on the back nine at Millbrook Resort today, he now has a three-shot lead on overnight leader Lucas Herbert and another Australian Nick Flanagan who are on 17-under par.
Herbert’s chances tipped when he made a double bogey on the par-3 13th hole after hitting into the water.
The leading New Zealander is Michael Hendry on 15-under with three holes to play, sharing fourth place with the other overnight leader, 17-year-old Joohyung Kim from Korea.
