Superstar Hannah Green has a stranglehold on the Vic Open while New South Welshman John Lyras will sleep on the lead in the men’s tournament for a third consecutive night.
John Lyras leads the men’s event for the second day in a row, but Western Australian Whitney Hillier upstaged her more famous WA compatriot Hannah Green at 13th Beach today in the second round of the Vic Open.
The trio ended the day in a share of the lead at six-under par in cool and calm conditions – particularly in the morning – at Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula.
The Vic Open will feature as part of The Open Qualifying Series for the first time following the cancellation of the New Zealand Open due to on-going travel restrictions.
To Ogilvy, part of the problem is rooted in the game’s conservatism, and that perhaps the primary stakeholders are “scared to rock the successful boat they’re riding in.”
Eight years after its bold gamble to bring male and female professionals together, the rest of the golf world is finally catching on to the power of opportunity presented by the ISPS Handa Vic Open.
