“I hit the ball well all day,” said Jeffress.

“It’s so important to hit it straight around here, because there is a lot of trouble just off the fairway.”

A trio of players are tied for second place including Marco Zirov, Matthew Millar and Andrew Campbell after firing rounds of 5-under par 67.

The low round of the morning field came from Sydney based Professional Marco Zirov who fired a 5-under par 67 and is currently in a tie for second place.
