First-round leader Jake McLeod has followed up his brilliant opening round of 62 with a round of 66 on day two of the Webex Series Vic event at the Rosebud Country Club to share the halfway lead with NSW’s Corey Lamb who was round in 65 today to add to his opening 63.
The 30-year-old Queenslander and former European Tour player has recorded 14 birdies and an eagle in his opening 36 holes while Lamb has produced 13 birdies and just one bogey in his opening two days of golf.
McLeod has been a prolific winner of pro-am titles and runner-up on three occasions in PGA Tour of Australasia events, but his only victory came more than six years ago when winning the NSW Open in 2018.
Perhaps his best performance came when 3rd behind Abraham Ancer at the 2018 Australian Open in a period of peak form which led to him playing in Europe for a couple of seasons.
23-year-old Lamb, from the lower Hunter Valley region, has been inside the top 3 in PGA Tour of Australasia events on three occasions already this summer and so is beginning to build consistency in what is an already impressive game.
The leading pair are two clear of NSW golfer, Andrew Campbell while amongst those at 9 under and three from the lead in the mixed-gender event are Welshwoman Lydia Hall and West Australian Abbie Teasdale.
Queensland veteran Michael Wright, a member of the PGA Tour Champions in 2024, is at 8 under and four from the lead.
The event carries prizemoney of $A250,000 with a first prize of A$45,000.
