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.
“It’s definitely been a weird year,” he said.
“The start of COVID I was up in the air on what I should do and then I decided to knuckle down and use the year to my advantage.
“So, I’ve done a lot of fitness work and I’ve got a lot of flexibility back.
“I’m definitely better mentally for the game of golf for sure.
“I think a lot of golf pros have struggled with that (lack of competition) but I’ve just come out of it fitter, healthier and better ready to go for next year.
charlie dann, a republican congressman and hillary rosen a democratic strategist and political commentator. good to see you both. hi, fred. biden is ready to show he is fit, he is ready to spar. is this advantageous for him, in your view? i thought fighting with that gentleman out in iowa really was not very helpful for him. i think the guy he was obviously very clumsy and maybe wasn t going to be very kind to the vice president, but the question was about the vice president s son. and i think the vice president has to come up with a better answer than he did. than him saying he didn t set him up? yeah, but even hunter biden acknowledged in hindsight and retrospect it was wrong for him to be on that board where he was paid all that money. he seemed to have limited qualifications. i thought the vice president was defensive and he needed a better answer than that. not good to attack a voter like that. hillary, how did you see it?
w iowa and new hampshire, actually, is more interchangeable votes between warren and sanders. so i think it s kind of an odd strategy to take on buttigieg for something so miniscule, but, you know, she must have something behind it. i feel like the warren campaign is flailing a little bit. i think this is a candidate, a senator, who has such good economic messaging, who speaks to voters so well, i don t think that this is an effective strategy for her, is to just go about attacking others. i feel like she was doing better and would do better if she stays positive and excited about change in the country. and then, charlie, democrats are preparing to hold this key impeachment hearing tomorrow. republicans are still pushing that debunked theory that ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. and listen to senator ted cruz on meet the press this morning. russia clearly interfered in our election, but here s the game the media is playing,
