20-year-old Nathan Holman holds a 5-stroke advantage heading into the final round in Australia
New Zealander Ben Campbell shot into contention with his round today of seven under. Campbell, like the rest of the field, enjoyed the milder conditions after the wild storms of the previous 24 hours. But his was not the best round of the day.
17 year old West Australian Oliver Goss shot 64, just one shot off the West Course record that’s survived for 50 years.
It was a case of what might have been for the teenager who lost a ball on the 12th, but still managed just 30 on the back nine.
The shot of the day belonged to Englishman Ashley Chesters ... a hole-in-one on the 202 metre par three 16th. And it’s not the first time the 22 year old has scored an ace. It is in fact his fourth, the last one was eight years ago.
Queenslander Daniel Nisbet starts tomorrow’s final round in striking distance of the leader. So too is world number five, Kelly Kraft from the USA and the ever consistent Tasmanian McCarthy. He has had rounds of 72 71 and 71.
