Bryden Macpherson’s hot 64 has thrown him into a potential weekend shootout with touring housemate Chris Wood for the Isuzu Queensland Open title.
Macpherson grabbed two eagles on par fives to bankroll his eight-under-par round on a hectic Friday at Pelican Waters Golf Club outside Caloundra.
Some players in the field were trying to clear 27 holes in the day to make up for the big rain interruption when the course was hit by a wild squall on Thursday.
Victorian Macpherson’s 72-64 start has got him to eight-under-par which was matched by Queenslander Wood (68-68).
“It’s awesome that golf is being showcased on the Sunshine Coast,” Wools-Cobb said.
“I’m definitely in better shape than last year (when he missed the cut) and knowing the course means you can stay aggressive on the weekend.”
“It’s good to be in contention because there was a time on Thursday when it was so wet I struggled to hold onto the club for five holes.”
The best of the Wools-Cobb birdies came on his eighth hole, the par five 17th, when he drove the ball right off the tee and cut a three wood over the trees to the green.
