LAKE MACQUARIE AMATEUR MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

JORDAN ZUNIC LEADS BY THREE WITH
ONE ROUND TO GO AT BELMONT

FROM THE TOURNAMENT WEBSITE
In direct contrast to the second day, the southerly blew up sparing to only the first few groups in the morning field. The back nine in particular took its toll on many players with a strong southerly giving the beachside holes plenty of teeth. Only two players managed best round scores of 69.
Jordan Zunic holds a three shot lead heading into the last round after carding a third round 70. It was a fine comeback after being three over after three holes, Zunic carded three birdies to turn square with the card. 

He mixed birdies on ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and eighteen with a double bogey on fifteen and a bogey on seventeen to finish on six under 210, three shots ahead of five other players.
Geoff Drakeford fired his third consecutive 71 to be three under. Luke Toomey from New Zealand eagled the fourth on his way to a one under 71 and a share of second place. 

Englishman Ryan Evans shot two over 74 to go with his first two rounds of 70 and 69. Jarryd Felton dropped three shots for a 75 and overnight leader Curtis Luck shot 77 to also sit on 213 going into the last round.
Mitchell Venables carded an even round 72 to be two under through 54 holes while Tae Koh and Dale Brandt-Richards both shot two over 74’s to be even with the card over three rounds.
Defending Champion Josh Munn from New Zealand followed his first two rounds of 77 and 71 with a fine 69 including three birdies on the front nine to be one over along with Blair Riordan, Jake McLeod and Charles Wright and put himself in contention for a tilt at back to back titles
The last round promises to be a tight tussle with a dozen or so players in the mix
