Gosnell local Josiah Edwards separated himself from the chasing pack in a similar fashion to Singh. He was similar in score—he also had 3-under today—and in the manner in which he got there.

Starting his day with four consecutive birdies, Edwards looked as if he might shake his home track record, but a double on seven and only one more birdie put an end to those dreams.

"I scored better today. I made a couple of putts at the start and just kept cool the whole way through," he said.

"I was expecting a little bit lower this week, but I'm still pretty happy with where I am."

Like Singh, Edwards sits atop the leaderboard at 5-under, five shots clear of a trio of chasers. South Australian Josh Grundel, New South Welshman Samuel Cascio, and New Zealander Joshua Bai make up that group T2 at even.

Edwards again had a force of Gosnell's members in tow, and he expects even more for the final two days as he looks to close out a special win at home.

"The fairways will be full," he joked.

Outside of the impressive leaders, day two highlights came from those making moves on the leaderboard and those who bounced back from tough opening rounds.

One of New Zealand's stars, Robby Turnbull, had an 8-over 78 on day one but reminded everyone what he is capable of with a 4-under 66 to get back into contention today.

In a similar fashion, Riversdale Golf Club's Arena Tran produced one of the rounds of the day, a 2-under 69 to get her into a tie for seventh after two rounds.
