Fowler fires 63 to lead at Gold Coast
Print Edition
Ricky Fowler had six birdies over his last eight holes en route to an 8-under-par 63 yesterday to take a two-stroke lead after the Australian PGA first round.
The American’s round took some of the attention from Adam Scott’s first tournament back in Australia as US Masters champion. Scott, however, was sitting only two strokes back following a 65 after playing in the afternoon groups affected by gusty winds at the Gold Coast’s Royal Pines which made low scoring more difficult.
The 33-year-old Scott was level with fellow Australians Matthew Ballard and David McKenzie.
Nathan Green shot 66 and was alone in fifth spot, a stroke better than Australian compatriot Jason Norris and South Korea’s Kwon Sung-yeol, who shot 67s and were equal sixth. Richard Lee of Canada was in a large group tied for eighth with 68s.
Fowler started at the 10th and opened with five pars before making birdie on two of the next four holes before the turn.
“It was a good solid start,” Fowler said. “A little bit slow on my front nine, but I just stayed patient and finally got a few things to go, made a couple of good up and downs.”
