In the under-19 division, Sam Marsters (Mirimar) and the talented Stephen Liu (Whitford Park) are the frontrunners after solid 71s. Remuera’s Robby Turnbull leads the under-16s after a 72, followed by Zach Swarbrick (Napier) with a 73. In the girls’ under-19 section, Lizzie Neale (Nelson) was very consistent in grabbing the lead with 71 to head off two of the favourites. “After the poor start I went into damage control mode and concentrated on cutting out errors. The girls under-16 looks like a North Island affair, with Grace Zhan (Maungakiekie) in excellent touch with 71 to take a four shot lead ahead of Amy Han (Titirangi), with Rianne Li (Akarana) a shot further back.
