Lucas Herbert on top at the Australian Open, Cameron Smith two strokes behind

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Lucas Herbert shot an 8-under 63 Thursday at a soggy Victoria Golf Club, including an eagle on his last hole, to take the first-round lead at the Australian Open, with fellow Australian and 2022 British Open champion Cameron Smith two strokes behind. The Australian Open and Women’s Australian Open are being held concurrently — using alternating tee times — and with level prize money for the second consecutive year at two Melbourne sand-belt courses, the par-72 Kingston Heath and par-71 Victoria. Japanese amateur Rintaro Nakano and American Ryggs Johnston shot 65s at Kingston Heath and were tied for second, with Smith tied for fourth after his 65, including six birdies in a row, at Victoria in the men’s event which is co-sanctioned with the European Tour. So a lot of those par fives played really quite short... if it stays like this, it’ll probably be close to 20-under if there’s no wind, which is crazy.” Elvis Smylie, who won last week’s Australian PGA championship at Royal Queensland, where Smith finished second, shot 70 Thursday at Victoria.
