Projected cut is at four-under, which means Kiwi favourites Steve Alker and Michael Hendry as well as young gun Kazuma Kobori look set to miss the weekend action.
- Overnight co-leader Scott Hend has a two-shot solo lead.
- Kiwi Josh Geary was on fire with seven birdies to leap into T2.
- Equally as hot was fellow Kiwi Dan Hillier, who birdied his final four holes to join Geary at T2.
