Local hope Chris Wood fired a fine 65 to lead the hungry posse of challengers set to make Sunday a thrilling shootout for the Isuzu Queensland Open.
The Wynnum Golf Club member sunk a nerveless 2m par putt on the final green at Pelican Waters in Saturday’s third round to lock in a one-stroke lead.
There are 18 players within five strokes of the lead as the storied tournament heads to a climax overflowing with birdies and tests of temperament.
Wood (68-68-65) has already reached the 15-under-par mark that Anthony Quayle posted to win last year’s event on the same course outside Caloundra.
