Round 3, otherwise known as ‘Moving Day’ is upon us at the 2024 Australian Open, with Lucas Herbert streaking clear to hold a four-shot lead in the men’s tournament.

Herbert and Cameron Smith both got off to blazing starts in Round 2, but while Herbert was able to maintain his stellar play to record -6 for the day to move to -14, Smith capitulated on the back nine.

The 2022 British Open winner dropped five shots on the back nine to finish the day at -6 for the tournament, eight shots behind Herbert.

Little-known American Ryggs Johnston is in second place at -10 with six golfers next best at -9, including last weekend’s Australian PGA winner Elvis Smylie.

Following a solid yet unspectacular opening round, Smylie handed in a massive second round to get back into contention.

The 22-year-old fired an -8 64 on Friday to be -9 for the tournament. He is aiming to become just the seventh player to pull off the Aus PGA-Aus Open double.

Other notables in the running after two rounds are popular American Harry Higgs (-9) and Aussies Marc Leishman (-7) and Harrison Crowe (-7).

Defending champion Joaquin Niemann salvaged a poor opening round with a 66 on Friday to be on -4 for the tournament.

Turning to the women and South Korean amateur Hyojin Yang is the sole leader at the start of Round 3.

Yang is -9 for the tournament with compatriot Jiyai Shin on -8.

The best placed Aussie is Justice Bosio on -8 while 2024 Greg Norman medallist Hannah Green is two shots behind the pace on -7.

South African Ash Buhai, who is aiming for three straight wins at this tournament, is well within reach at -4.
