Dunk leads golf open
NZPA Melbourne The* unassuming; New South Wales player, Billy Dunk, yesterday - relegated his more illustrious rivals to the shadows . when he claimed the first round lead in the $150,000 Australian - Open at the Victoria Golf Club. Dunk shrugged off the tough redesigned layout to fire a four-under-par 68.. He leads by one stroke from the rejuvenated Sydney professional, Jack Newton," • while one stroke further back is the South African, Gary
Player, the winner of the Tweed Heads Classic in Queensland last week. Among those sharing fourth spot are the British Open champion, the American, Bill Rogers, and a young New South Wales professional, Mark Holland, who has been a professional for just two months. Despite leading the field, Dunk, the ' Victorian Open champion, said he was unimpressed with the way he played. He also admitted to being “jumpy and self conscious.”
