Aronimink’s got some teeth. Might be good for a US Open one day.

That’s a crowded leader board.

Smith and Lee in the mix

Smalley did well to get it together from 3 bogeys in first 4 holes

Min Woo with a nice birdie at the last too. Thanks to the coverage I hardly saw him play a shot this morning.

Played 18 holes at Bundoora and 9 today at Royal Park. The back 9 and Bundoora and the 9 today probably the best I’ve played. Still a lot to work on but less really bad holes. Normally I’ll have a couple of 10s on the card but today the worst was a 7. Been teeing off with an iron and at least have been getting into the fairway regularly, even if not hitting it that far.

Had the yips with the driver, still do, but there was a period there where I’d comfortably hit a 3 iron off the tee and keep it in play more often than not. At least it gave me a chance hitting into a green.

Smith gotta get his driving back on track - putter working beautifully to save him last 3 holes.

It would have been amazing if his birdie putts on 13 and 14 had dropped. Both skimmed just past the edge of the cup. Still 1 back.

Super up and down from the bunker to save par.

Another bunker on the last par 5 for Smith. That’s his 3rd bunker on the back 9. He got up and down for par on the previous 2 - can he get up and for birdie here?

Nope a 3rd birdie putt in the last few holes that skims past the hole

Wow some fairway hunker shot by Smith on 18 leaves him with a birdie putt to get the shot back he dropped on 17. Leader at -6 with Smith currently 2 back.

It’s great to see him back. He’s a quality player that needs to sort out his driving and return to winning majors.
