Round 3 Highlights | 2025 ISPS HANDA Australian Open

Here are some highlights from earlier on today. Joel Gerbach, second shot here at the sixth. Matthew Southgate, something of a Lynx specialist. Far from Lynx weather here at the moment, or maybe it is in fact. We've seen plenty of this at the Open Championship. And Jordan Gumberg out with a long putter from long range. Here at the second. Gets that one to four. And then Dan Hilliard, the Kiwi here. A birdie from long range at five. A ten under par. Tracking and dropping. And after opening with a birdie, then a bogey. The Austrian, Lukas Nemec. He's from long range at four. They are just holing him from everywhere right now. Warren 140 for Lukas here. He doesn't need to take this pin on. This one will hopefully be left of this pin. Nothing right of it. He struck it well out of the light rough. And that wind is going left to right. Not a bad play. Jordan Gumberg has this at five. 128, Warren. Once again, nothing right of this. You need to keep air on the side of left all day. These pins are tucked again today. It's not a bad shot, pin height. Here, Johnson hitting this through the fairway. Only 85 metres. He's already hit one close today. And another to the left. I like that flag today with more receptive conditions. Yesterday it got a little bouncier. Oh, stay there. Needs to be careful. Saddle. It's not going to. Oh, saved by the fringe. Thank you, guys. It's fantastic to be here. You have the umbrella out much today. Seeing any golf? Well, early on. But I'm optimistic about the afternoon. And I'm very optimistic about tomorrow. Yeah, it's his first tournament. Or first Australian All Abilities Championship. And he played incredibly well. He did a job on the rest of the field. So congratulations to him. He's won before. He's won the U.S. Adaptive Championships. On the sand belt. We were playing the Australian Open. And I think we're set for a great weekend of golf. Thank you very much. Have a good weekend. And let's have a couple more great champions. I think this will be 20 feet left of the pin. It certainly is. He's trying to hold it up. Beautiful looking shot. Jordan Gumburg here next to play. Better look at the flag. Perfect angle from 100 metres back into the breeze. Right to left. This can take dead aim. The greens are soft. Perfect tee shot here, Warren. This is a green light. But it needs to be just a little bit left. Only 80 metres. Yet another good struck shot. He'll have that potentially to go to the lead in round three. Oh, that's right. It's off that green. Now Lindell. Sorry, Jordan Gumburg, should I say. Saw Lindell there earlier. He got it up and down. And fared much better than Gumburg. Not much here for Lucas Herbert. He's got a little bit of room to play with. But he is an excellent bunker player. Well, there you go. That's come out soft. Not out of a great lie either. 118 here for Lucas Herbert. Straight down breeze. This one on a good line. Just left of the pin. Brilliant. Funny reaction there. I thought that spun a little bit. He wouldn't be complaining. There's Jordan Gumburg. Here, 107 here. This one straight over the pin. I know these greens are soft. Further on this same hole. Nemecz. Does a good job out of the bunker. That was for Birdie. Look out everyone. She's coming. Didn't stop for him, did it? Oh, that's just a couple of pieces too far. Is that going to hang on? Just about. Herbert. So Gumburg, obviously, is taking an unplayable from the bush that he's found. On the right hand side of one. That's his fourth. This could be pretty. A little bit more spin. That would have been still in there from the American. That is special from Lucas Herbert. Nemecz. On the par 3, 11th. Do much better without taking a risk of leaving it in the bunker there. Gumburg on 11. Short side himself. Need a miracle to hit this within 8 feet. It's about. Bunker to here. Great save. Great save to avoid another bogey after doubling 10. So Elvis in the sand for his third shot to this par 5, 12 that many players see as a birdie chance. What a shot. What about the spin on that? Ferocious. To find the line at the hole from where he was out of position. Look forward to seeing Nicholas Coulsart on the surfboard down at Warrnambool sometime over the summer. You don't want to see that. We'll see more of him off the surfboard. Let's not forget. I come from Belgium. We have 50 kilometers of coastline. Wedging hands. W13. Show par 4. Yes. Well, that's how you bounce back from a couple of bogeys. Back to 11 under. Let's go back to Johnston here on 12. That's great management there. Absolute great management not to bring because from the line he was coming. You have that bunker behind the green. So distant control. This one's in the air going straight at it, but needs to get up a little. Caution of that bunker that sits right behind. You can see it on your screen now. What can Elvis manufacture? His third shot here. Feeding out beautifully. Stunning results for Elvis Smiley. Harrison Crowe finds himself in a share of fourth position. Tee shot to the testing par 3, 11. That's just 80 meters, Ali. He can take dead aim at this. Young Victorian. Fourth shot here at par 5, 14 for Lucas Nemech. Grabbing it just beyond the flag. Two holes in a row there, Warren. Hold out on the 13th. Almost again on 14. Montana minus 11 degrees. Elvis Smiley here pitching on at 14. Jordan Gumberg here above the hole. He's right hand side. Well, they're putting on a clinic with the wedges today. This is going to be interesting. Who's leading after this hole, especially with Herbert in such good position. Well, we have a massive moment right here. Lucas Nemech up on 16. His second. Today cut front left. Erring on the side of caution. Big drive here up on 16. That looks to be an eight iron in his hand. It's paid dividends. Have a look at this. Long way back here with Herbert, but it's a big opening. He struck this well. This is going straight over my head. Just needs a good kick. Oh, wow. 217 was the perfect number. He might lay up there again. Wasn't afraid of giving them something to think about there. Had one of the longest putts on the golf course too. This is perfect from 152. Sorry. Just right of it. Riggs only 134. He doesn't know how to stay away from pins. And this one's going direct at it. Great bounce back. I think you just need to see a couple go in before you go to sleep tonight. Hope they do tomorrow. Hope for a different day. You've got to make it a different day. Over on the opposite side. Curtis Luck. Going for his seventh birdie of the day. And he does it. What a round from the West Australian. Bogey free. 65. Thank you very much.
