Wayne Davison posted the round of the day at the Mount Gambier Golf Club during Thursday’s Stableford with 39 points.

It put him one point in front of a trio of players on 38 points; Graham Allen, Gordon Clarke and Craig Foster all finishing on 38 with Allen taking 2nd place on count back.

Eighty-two players were in the field with the ball run down extending to 35 points and a lucky Stacy Fiegert taking the last one.

Nearest the pins belonged to Andrew Noble on the 8th and Shane Brook on the 16th.

Brook was unfortunately not able to make his birdie while Noble rolled his in after also making an eagle on the previous hole, the par 5 7th .

Three under for two holes is always a nice feeling.
