DEYEN Lawson leads the Australian charge at the halfway stage today (Saturday,\u00a0 February 11) of the men’s Vic<\/span>\u00a0Open<\/span>\u00a0after first-round leader Ryan Ruffels closed with a calamitous quadruple bogey at 13th Beach.<\/p>\n

After getting off to a flying start with a course record-equalling 61 on Thursday, Ruffels was still sitting pretty at 14 under with just one hole to play in the second round.<\/p>\n

But it all went awry on the closing par-5 18th, with the 24-year-old hitting three shots into a hazard, two of which could not be found.<\/p>\n

Ruffels eventually holed out for a quadruple bogey nine and a round of one-over 73, which dropped him all the way back to a tie for 15th at 10 under.<\/p>\n

Local favourite Lawson, who did his professional traineeship at nearby Curlewis GC, went in the other direction yesterday, shooting a nine-under 63 to move to second at 16 under.<\/p>\n

Lawson has already won the WA\u00a0Open<\/span>\u00a0this season and sits in eighth spot on the Australasian Order of Merit.<\/p>\n

But the outright leader is New Zealand’s Michael Hendry, who tore up The Creek course on Friday morning with a bogey-free 10-under 62 to move to 18-under 126.<\/p>\n

“It feels a little bit that way (that the stars aligned), yeah,” said the 43-year-old Hendry, a former NZ\u00a0Open<\/span>\u00a0and PGA champion and who has been a regular on the Japanese tour for a decade.<\/p>\n

“It was one of those days where everything seemed to go well and I hit a lot of really good shots, and the putts dropped as well.<\/p>\n

“It was a really nice day.”<\/p>\n

Gavin Fairfax was in outright third place at 14 under, a shot clear of four other Australians – Justin Warren, Mathew Goggin, Haydn Barron and amateur Jack Buchanan.<\/p>\n

The halfway cut was made at five under.<\/p>\n

Rising star Cassie Porter has placed a stranglehold on the women’s\u00a0Vic<\/span>\u00a0Open<\/span>\u00a0and will take an imposing five-shot lead into the weekend action at 13th Beach.<\/p>\n

For the second straight day, the 20-year-old outshone her accomplished playing partners Jiyai Shin and Karrie Webb, both of whom are multiple major winners and former world No.1s.<\/p>\n

The highlights of Porter’s round of 9-under 64 yesterday (Friday, February 10) were eagles at the par-4 5th – when she holed out with a wedge from 75 yards – and the par-5 18th on The Creek Course.<\/p>\n

“On the fifth, I hit it and Amber my caddy and I both said, ‘Sit down, that is so far over’ but it took one hop and went in,” Porter said.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t see it but I heard the crowd.”<\/p>\n

Porter was an astonishing 15 under the card after two rounds, two shots better than the best winning totals of 13 under – by Mel Reid in 2017 and Hannah Green in 2022 – since the women’s\u00a0Vic<\/span>\u00a0Open<\/span>\u00a0went to a 72-hole tournament in 2013.<\/p>\n

First-round co-leader Pavarisa Yoktuan from Thailand (68) was in outright second at 10 under, a shot clear of England’s Holly Clyburn and American Emma Talley.<\/p>\n

Korean star Shin (71) was in fifth spot at 7-under 138, while the 48-year-old Webb wound back the clock and moved up the leaderboard to 4-under 141 after signing for a 69.<\/p>\n

But they were both put in the shade again by Porter, who only turned professional 14 months ago.<\/p>\n

“I stuck to my game plan and it came off today,” she said.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to take it when it comes, because it doesn’t come very often.<\/p>\n

“(Shin and Webb) are amazing players.<\/p>\n

“When you’re in a group like that and everyone is playing well you kind of feed off it and I did that so I was really happy with myself.<\/p>\n

“Putting a score like that on the board is pretty cool.”<\/p>\n

After shooting the lights out in the morning, Porter had a relaxing Friday afternoon planned on the Bellarine Peninsula before getting back to business.<\/p>\n

“I’m trying not to focus on the lead going into the weekend because I’ve still got another two days of work to do,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I’m actually going for a quick hike around the beach.<\/p>\n

“There’s a headland I really want to go and see.<\/p>\n

“And then maybe go for a swim, dinner and a snooze.”<\/p>\n
