Diminutive Englishman Andy Sullivan took the early lead at eight under par on the second day of the Greater Building Society Lake Macquarie International Golf Championships at Belmont, New South Wales in Australia today.
Sullivan , 23, from the Nuneaton Club in Warwickshire, followed his five under 67 on the opening day yesterday with a three under 69 today.
He eagled the par five 9th, birdied 10, 11 and 16 and bogeyed 13 and 15.
Sullivan began playing golf at the age of 9 at the Purley Chase Golf Club, also in Warwickshire.
This is his second trip to Australia and his first attempt at the Lake Macquarie tournament.

He had seven birdies --at 2,7,10,11, 12, 14 and 17 – and bogeys on 3 and 15.
Fox is teeing off later today.
Outstanding Newcastle (Australia) junior, 17 year old Jake Higginbottom, of Charlestown Club, also climbed the leader board with a four-under 68 today to follow his two under 70 yesterday.
