Golf: Hall leads at Clearwater

Australian Ashley Hall was last night leading the New Zealand PGA Championship at Clearwater in Christchurch, on 137 after 36 holes. New Zealander Grant Waite was one-under par on 143 in a share of 10th place after switching to his left hand for putting. He was buoyant after holing his longest putt of the day on the last - from 18 feet - to finish with a two-over 74.
