FROM THE TOURNAMENT WEBSITE
There has been some good scoring in the first round of the Lake Macquarie men's amateur championship at Belmont Golf Club, New South Wales today.
New South Wales State representative, Jordan Zunic from Bonnie Doon Golf Club and newly crowned Australian Amateur Champion Tae Koh from New Zealand set the early pace at a very picturesque Belmont Golf Club with scintillating seven under par, bogey free rounds of 65.
Zunic was out in 33 with birdies on the first, fourth and seventh and stormed home in 32 carding birdies at the tenth, twelfth, seventeenth and eighteenth.
Koh was also out in 33 with birdies on the fourth, seventh and tenth and helped himself to birdies on thirteen, fifteen, seventeen and eighteen to come home in 32.
A number of players shot 4 under 68’s. Long Reef golfer Nathan Waters with five birdies and a bogey was very solid in the first round, as was Anthony Murdaca from The Grange Golf club in South Australia and Compton Pikari (NZ), both of whom mixed six birdies with a double bogey. Cameron Davis (Roseville), an eagle, three birdies and a bogey, Isaac Noh (Avondale), an eagle, five birdies and three bogeys and Jarryd Felton (WA), four birdies.
Mitchell Venables from Bankstown shot a 69 along with Dale Williamson from Killara and Austin Bautista from Bonnie Doon who had a mixed day with seven birdies and four bogeys.
