Gold Coast-based professional Deyen Lawson is eyeing off a first-round bye in Sunday’s match play section after backing up his course record 64 on Thursday with a 2-under 70 to maintain a two-shot lead at the Gippsland Super 6 on Friday morning.
Challengers came and went as the morning round on day two delivered equal measure of red numbers and stumbles.
Starting the second round two shots back of Lawson, Dimi Papadatos rose to a share of the lead at 10-under on the back of his fifth birdie of the day but struck trouble on the par-4 fourth hole, dropping two shots on his way to a 2-under 70 to be two back and outright second, two shots clear of Peter Cooke and Charlie Dann.
