Co-leaders Cameron John and Dimi Papadatos are expecting the Moonah Links Legends Course to bite back hard after players used benign conditions to plunder birdies and eagles in round one of the Victorian PGA Championship on Thursday.
New South Welshman Josh Clarke shot to prominence when he established a new course record of 9-under 63 in the morning wave but with a rare calm day placing the course at their mercy John and Papadatos set a new benchmark with matching rounds of 10-under 62.
Queenslandâs Aaron Wilkin closed with consecutive birdies to join Clarke in a tie for third at 9-under with David McKenzie, Blake Windred and James Marchesani all a shot further back after posting 8-under 64 in their opening rounds.
