Another New Zealander Kieran Muir from behind the green at the 16th on the Coronet course for birdie which led eventually to a round of five under. Su Sung Hong a Korean player one of many Asians in the field hold this putt for birdie at the 18th. But it would be New Zealander Ben Campbell a two-time runner-up in this event who set up a possible eagle with a stunning shot to the 18th. And after he would bring joy to the local crowd because he does live in this region now with this putt for eagle and he would finish with a round of six under. Sydney Sider Kevin Wan an Asian tour player these days hit this shot to the dangerous 12th hole but the result was stunning. Wan would also birdie the 18th.
