Sitting just two shots behind was a talented chasing pack comprising James Wood (14), Nixon Gill (15) and Alejandro Carpio (7), all posting nett 66s. Bobby Broadhurst (14) remained well in contention with a 67, while David Redhill (18) finished on 68. Others still within striking distance included Pat Garvan (8) with 69, Ray Gordon (4) with 70, Robert Yaldwyn (11) with 73 and Diego Piatta (16) on 74.

The Mixed Foursomes Championship was played over two consecutive Sundays, 5 July and 12 July. Recent rain had left the course wet underfoot, while typical winter conditions greeted players on both mornings, with crisp starts giving way to pleasant sunshine as the rounds progressed.
Round One tee times were determined by combined handicaps, with the lower handicap pairs teeing off first. The course was presented in excellent condition, with firm, fast greens and tight fairways typical of winter when the turf is dormant.
After the opening round, Sharon Doyle and junior Hughie Malloy held a narrow one shot lead in the Handicap event over Gabrielle Shanahan and Michael Williams.
In the Stroke event, Gabrielle Shanahan and Michael Williams established a commanding eight shot lead over Vanda Chong and Kahn Nathan, with Marilyn Robinson and Tim Crowe a further four shots back. It was a healthy advantage heading into the final round.
