Sydneysider John Lyras’s love affair with Moonah Links will reach new heights on Friday if he can maintain his position at the top of the leaderboard and claim the major prize on offer at the Final Stage of the PGA Tour of Australasia Qualifying School.
One of only three players to break 70 on Thursday as Peter Thomson’s imposing Open Course and the Mornington Peninsula’s wicked winds once again kept scoring in check, Lyras sits atop the leaderboard at 3-under par alongside Victorian Will Heffernan (71) heading into Friday’s final round.

An eagle on the opening hole of his second round has catapulted Gold Coast amateur Lewis Hoath to the top of the leaderboard at the Isuzu Queensland Open.
It may be a blink in time or a signal for the rest of a hectic Friday with some golfers in line for 27 holes to catch-up on Thursday’s rain-hit first round.
Hoath birdied two of his final three holes early in the day to complete his first round as a fine four-under-par 68.
He had a short break and was back out on the course to grab his eagle on the 500m par five first hole to reach six-under.
