Fast-finishing Travis Smyth and Wade Ormsby are flying the Australian flag in a tie for second as a cluster of Kiwis look to end a long local drought in the $1.69 million NZ Open at Millbrook Resort.
Smyth birdied his last four holes on Friday to card the lowest second-round score of eight-under 63 and move to 11 under, a mark tied late in the day by Ormsby (65).
