The current PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit winner is making his second appearance in a World Golf Championships event at this week’s WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession, almost a decade since he teed it up at the WGC-HSBC Champions event in China in 2012.

The guiding hand of his father and a PGA TOUR reality check has positioned Sydney’s John Lyras to push for a breakthrough Professional win when the Moonah Links PGA Classic concludes at Moonah Links on Thursday.
The possibility of border closures has prompted ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia officials to play the final two rounds on Thursday with groups of two to play in a cart, the third round to commence at 7.15am and the final round at 11.45am AEDT.
It means Lyras will only have to sleep on the lead for one more night after following up his 6-under 66 in the first round with a composed and patient 5-under 67 on Wednesday to be 11-under at the halfway mark.
