8:40am: After just missing the fairway on 11 and finding the back edge with his approach, Jeff Guan hit an amazing lag recovery putt to set up another tap-in par.

8:30am: South Australian rookie Jack Tanner has claimed the early lead in the Top End. With a birdie on Palmerston’s tenth hole and two pars to follow, Tanner is currently the only player under par.

8:15am: After just missing the fairway left on his opening hole, Jeff Guan followed with a stunning 6-iron to 20-feet over the trees. His birdie putt just came up short but it is an easy par on the first to get his return to professional golf underway.
