10 Mar 2010
Westown's Craig Owen added a one under par round of 70 to his first day 67 to hold a three shot lead in the TV3 Rebel Sport Legends event at the Lakes Resort Pauanui course today.
Queensland’s Mike Ferguson added a second 70 to be on 140 alone in second place. He has four birdies but mixed in a bogey and a triple on the tough 14th hole.
Tied third on 141 are Wanaka’s Garth Domigan (70 71), Taupo’s Barry Vivian (70 71), and Sydney’s Brett Officer (70 71).
The tournament favourite, Wayne Grady, withdrew on only his second hole of the day, with a back injury that he aggravated while warming up putting him out of the event.
