Starkey takes lead into final round of Junior Amateur

Glenelg’s Will Starkey will take a 3 shot lead going into the final round of the 2015 Golf SA Junior Amateur Championship to be played at Blackwood Golf Club tomorrow (Tuesday).

After 36 holes, Starkey sits at 3-under par following rounds of 73, 68 around Koooyonga’s tricky layout today to lead Yowani Country Club’s Jakub Gancarz.  Gold Creek’s Josh Armstrong sits a further 2 shots back, with Royal Queensland’s James Mee in 4th, another one shot back.

Hitting off the 10th tee in the afternoon, Starkey’s 4-under par second round started steady to be even par through ten holes, however with consecutive birdies on holes 2 and 3, and a birdie, eagle finish over the closing two holes, Starkey was able to jump to the top of the leaderboard.

Junior Masters runner-up, Lachlan Barker, fired rounds of 76, 73 to be in 5th place, eight shots back from his fellow Glenelg member.

Other Glenelg members to fair well were Jackson Kalz, with rounds of 76, 77 to be in a tie for 10th place, and Ben Layton in 14th place after rounds of 74, 81.
