Podcast purveyor Brady Watt will be seeking a second consecutive Adidas Pro-Am Series victory and the South West Series crown when he takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the $35,000 South West Open at Bunbury Golf Club on Sunday.
West Australian born and raised but now based in Victoria, Watt shared top spot alongside local Associate Paris Murdock and South Australian Mac McCardle at the Dunsborough Lakes Pro-Am on Thursday and picked up where he left off at Bunbury.
Intermittent showers may have slowed the super-slick greens at Bunbury slightly but it did little to soften Watt’s hot form as he rattled off seven birdies in a round of 5-under 67 to be one clear of Zimbabwean-born Dale Howie (68).
He’s been coming to Bunbury since he was 13 and now Rick Kulacz is eyeing a Nexus Risk Services South West Open triumph as the next step in reigniting his professional golf career.
Local pair Ethan Andrews and Braden Becker have battled the elements and some of Australian golf’s most recognisable faces to share victory at the E-Z-GO Wembley Pro-Am at Wembley Golf Course in Perth on Sunday.
